lyrics

I am, I am alone tonight.
I'm stuck in my head, these walls are my friends, the voices are blunt they make me realize we started love before it's time and the lines on the walls showed our lines weren't straight, our lines weren't straight at all.
You were lost and I was giving, the father talked and you were listening.
From connecting our thinking, came wanting to know you deeply.
To the point of skin on skin, to the point of skin on skin: empty.
So, under your bed sheets, I didn't feel so lonely.
I felt like you understood and you truly loved me.
I've never felt more alone, I've never felt more at home.
I never felt, I never felt.
I realize that this love was corrupted by being human and not understanding.
I fell in love with you for you being you and connecting our thoughts about God but when it's all said and done, God wasn't on our side for this one.
I tried to love you, I tried to hold you, I tried to do the very best that I could do but it was never enough.
It was never enough.
I'm letting go.
I'm letting go.
You were lost and I was giving, the father talked and you were listening.
From connecting our thinking, came wanting to know you deeply.
To the point of skin on skin, to the point of skin on skin: empty.
So, under your bed sheets, I didn't feel so lonely.
I felt like you understood and you truly loved me.
I've never felt more alone, I've never felt more at home.
I never felt, I never felt.
I was not enough, you were not enough.
This was corrupted.
This love was not enough.
