"the gift of loneliness" lyrics

I used to think that love was what I needed
Gave the good stuff out for free
At the expense of what I'm worth
I'd chase down every red flag that they'd wave
Take every heartbreak to my grave
And never question why it hurts

But the cost of love is losing it
I found myself abusing it
For once I wanna figure myself out

Cause the gift of loneliness is making sense of yourself

I had a party with some friends
We talked about how life could end
At any moment we could die
Have I done what I want to do
Did I attach myself too much
To who I've loved?
Am I enough?

Cause the cost of love is losing it
I found myself abusing it
For once I wanna figure myself out
And even on the harder days
It's still a decent price to pay
I wouldn't trade it just for someone else

Yeah, I thought that loneliness was my own version of hell
But the gift of loneliness is making sense of yourself

The gift of loneliness is making sense of yourself
