Making Yourself So Lonely

On the phone you spoke

Picking bones with my friends and lovers

You said, "I think you're living in a bubble, darling"

So I thought it through and thought

That maybe you could be on to something

After all, we all have our little blind spots, don't we?

So I looked, I took a good look around me, darling

And we stepped, we took a good step away from familiar humdrum

Such unforgettable and truly magical times

Stop, there I go again like a fool

Trying to paint the perfect picture

It's easy to romanticize

When you're in the distance, darling

But it wasn't easy, was it?

I mean you never really seemed truly happy

There I was, drunk in love

And drowning on a daydream, daily

As you stripped, you stripped me away like paint work, darling

And you picked, you picked me apart

And left me in a million pieces

No need to sympathize but try to realize this

You're making yourself so lonely, darling

It's making me feel so lonesome to know

Stop making yourself so lonely, darling

Please

So looking back now it's funny

How I really had the blinkers on me

Like a firework, free falling, 'til I hit the concrete floor

Where my friends picked me back up and held me, darling

It was them and the family

Who really got me back to hear the music

I hope you got the same

And cut out your love games 'cause

You're making yourself so lonely, darling

It's making me feel so lonesome to know

Stop making yourself so lonely, darling

Please

You're making yourself so lonely, darling

It's making me feel so lonesome to know

Stop making yourself so lonely, darling

Please

Yes, it's obvious

Well, I shouldn't really need to say this

But the truth is that

I miss you
