How to Be Lonely

I hate the weight and the sound of the silence

I hate the feeling like I'm on an island

You're moving on and, honey, I'm trying

If I said I knew how, well, I'd be lying

I know how to kiss you in the dark

Know how to hold you in my arms

Know how to love you like it's holy

Now I know how the high turns into low

Know how to slow dance with your ghost

Thought time would heal, but I don't know

How to be lonely, how to not miss you

How to keep going without being with you

How to not call you on my way home

How do you do it? I don't know

How to be lonely

How to be lonely

How could you expect me to come back from you?

Don't hold it against me for something I can't do

Baby, you showed me what I had to lose

I know you told me it was nothing to you

I know how to hurt and hide the scar

Know how to have this broken heart

Know how to say I'm over you

Now I know how to wish that you'll come back

Know how to want what I can't have

I try, but I don't have a clue

How to be lonely, how to not miss you

How to keep going without being with you

How to not call you on my way home

How do you do it? I don't know

How to be lonely

How to be lonely

I know how to hurt and hide the scar

Know how to have this broken heart

Know how to say I'm over you, over you

I know how to wish that you'll come back

Know how to want what I don't have

I try, but I don't have a clue

How to be lonely

How to be lonely

How to be lonely, how to not miss you

How to keep going without being with you

How to not call you on my way home

How do you do it? I don't know

How to be lonely
