"The Loneliness" lyrics

"The Loneliness"

I wanna tell you how I feel
But I can't even tell myself
Instead I use all my might to straighten the lines
On my face and say I'm well

Well, you know I'm lying
My heart's on fire
Guess I should try to smother it out
Try to tame it
But damn it
I'm tired

I need someone
To see me through
Someone who will listen
And let me speak my truth
Need you to tell me that it's

Ok not to be ok
Yeah, it's ok to fall apart today
Love is the only thing that can kill
The loneliness

I know I'm stronger than I think
I can handle most anything
Then the bottle reaches for me
Hell I can't go there again
So I'm pouring it down the sink

Dirty secrets will take a toll
They'll steal your mind from you, baby
Then they'll try to steal your soul
So let 'em go and please know that it's

Ok not to be ok
Yeah, it's ok to fall apart today
Love is the only thing that can kill
The loneliness

Tomorrow morning the sun will rise again
Yes, even this, this too shall pass
But right now I can't take it, I need a friend
Cause my emotions are kicking my ass

Need you to tell me its ok
Tell me it's alright, alright alright

It's ok not to be ok
Yeah, it's ok to fall apart today
Love is the only thing that can kill the loneliness

Tell me you're not gonna up and run away
When the clouds in the sky start looking gray
Tell me it's alright alright
Just hold me tonight
Please, hold me tonight
