Solus

 

(A lone voice whispers)

 

Here I am

All alone again

On my own

Still looking for an unspoken reason

Why do we keep deceiving

Are we still lost in a place

Overflowing with past mistakes

Where we always hurt the ones we love

Is there no room now

For give or take

Are you lost to me forever

No matter how much our heartaches

So I'll just say these words

Even though

The silence between us grows 

Beyond the mean words

We throw

Why do we hurt the ones

We love so much

When we judge

Can’t we just go back

To how it used to be

Me and you

Against the world

No matter who sees 

Is it too late

Will you wait

For

Here I am

All alone again

Still looking for a reason

Still waiting for a meeting

Are we lost in a dark place

Overflowing with mistakes

And heartbreak

Is there

No more give or take

Has our old love

Run its course

Aren’t you filled

Like me

With a drop of remorse

Are we past the point of no

Return

Don’t worry if it's

True

I’ll learn

I’ll move on

But still, I'll listen to these

My new favourite lyrics 

As I grieve 

Why do we hurt

The ones we love

When we judge

When they leave
