The World Was Lonely

When it started, it wasn't so sad

We told jokes and hung out and made plans

Thought we'd open a bar in the back

Quit our jobs, start a business instead

And all at once, the world was lonely

It took so much to keep us apart

Though I know it's right

It doesn't make it easier to say no tonight

And be on my own again

We forget there were months in that year

Meet for coffees without any fear

Escape the city for just a few days

Try to clear our heads with fresh air and space

And all at once, the world was lonely

It took so much to keep us apart

Though I know it's right

It doesn't make it easier to say no tonight

And be on my own again

Doesn't mean that I love you less

Just 'cause I won't come inside and forget

I miss board games, and laughing out loud

Just wanna hug you before I head out

And all at once the world was lonely

It took so much to keep us apart

Though I know it's right

It doesn't make it easier to say no tonight

And be on my own again

Be on my own
