Loneliness will make you cry / So painful it avoids definition

Elusively it clouds your life / With cold blooded premonitions

Loneliness

By  Crystal Cartier

 

1.

Loneliness...a melancholy term

A solitary state of being

Such a vulnerable, unhappy word

Ambiguous with too many meanings

(chorus)

There are so many ways

That a body can be lonely

Standing in a crowd...

Or lying with the one you love.

2.

Loneliness will make you cry

So painful it avoids definition

Elusively it clouds your life

With cold blooded premonitions

(chorus)

There are so many ways

That a body can be lonely

Standing in a crowd...

Or lying with the one you love

(bridge)

They say that love can conquer anything

But I’ve been in love so many, many, many times before

You see the fairy tale for me always ends the same

I seem to lose no matter how I play the game

 3.

Loneliness knows no age

It comes & goes with your feelings

Love picks you up... then wrings you out

Leaving scars that will never stop healing

 (chorus)

There are so many ways

That a body can be lonely

Standing in a crowd...

Or lying with the one you love
