Lyrics
I saw her smiling through her tears
Observing someone smiling despite tears, reminiscing about a childhood memory.
As she told another story from a time when she was still a kid
Recalling a time from her childhood while narrating another story.
I felt emotions sweeping over me
Experiencing overwhelming emotions.
Growing up can be such a lonely thing
Expressing that growing up can lead to feelings of isolation.
I wondered if she ever felt like me
Questioning if the person ever shares similar feelings.
I said that I just want to ask you
Expressing a desire to inquire about shared experiences.
Do you ever feel like you're all alone
Asking if the person ever feels entirely isolated.
You feel a tug on your heart and an ache deep inside of your bones
Describing an intense emotional and physical pain.
Are your friends there for you
Questioning the presence and support of friends.
But not here with you
Friends may be present but not emotionally available.
Don't worry, there are people just like you
Assuring that there are others who share similar experiences.
'Cause darling, me too
Identifying with the person’s feelings of loneliness.
She was in college now and she loved it
She's currently in college and enjoys it.
But nobody warned her old friends aren't easy to replace
Realizing the difficulty in replacing old friends.
She said it's fine chasing dreams is the best thing
Believing that pursuing dreams is positive despite the challenges.
But sometimes when it's quiet the loneliness starts feeling
Admitting that silence brings forth heightened loneliness.
A little bit stronger—harder to ignore
Acknowledging the increasing strength of loneliness in quiet moments.
So I guess that you could say that
Summarizing the feeling of occasional isolation.
Yea sometimes I feel like I'm all alone
Admitting to feeling isolated at times.
I feel a tug on my heart and an ache deep inside of my bones
Expressing intense emotional and physical pain in solitude.
My friends aren't always with me
Friends may not always physically accompany but may offer support.
But I know they'll be there for me
Believing in the eventual presence and support of friends.
'Cause we're all lonely sometimes for so life goes
Accepting occasional loneliness as a part of life’s journey.
But we're not so alone
Acknowledging shared experiences of loneliness, yet affirming a sense of collective existence.
