Alone Lonely
Emotions Strained: A Tale of Solitude and Longing
Lyrics
You and me can't seem to do right thing
You and I struggle to do the right thing.
Counting up the days, we're draining wasting
We are counting the days, feeling drained and wasting time.
Sit in our apartment getting wasted
We spend time in our apartment, engaging in wasteful activities.
Stare at the shape
We contemplate the absence of walls, staring at the shape of my fist.
Of my fist where the walls gone
Reflecting on the impact of the missing walls.
You
A reference to the listener.
Try not to think about you
I try to avoid thinking about you.
Even though you're in the room
Despite your physical presence, I try to ignore you.
You don't need me
You don't require my presence or support.
So I can't need you
Reciprocal feelings of not needing each other.
I can feel you're tired of me, of me
I sense that you are tired of being with me.
There's no feeling when you touch me, touch me
There is a lack of emotional connection when you touch me.
I've felt unwanted for so long, I'm so gone
Feeling consistently unwanted for an extended period.
Leave me alone, instead of lonely, lonely
Expressing a desire to be left alone instead of feeling lonely.
Leave me all alone on the highway
Desiring solitude on the highway.
We're not breaking dishes
Not engaging in intense arguments or conflicts.
We're barely talking
A lack of communication, minimal interaction.
The crack that's in your voice when you say my name
Noticing a crack in your voice when you say my name.
Is getting way to hard explain
The difficulty in explaining the emotional strain.
You
Reiteration of the listener's presence.
Try not to think about you
Continued efforts to avoid thinking about the listener.
Even though you're in the room
Despite your physical presence, I try to ignore you.
You don't need me
You don't require my presence or support.
So I can't need you
Reciprocal feelings of not needing each other.
I can feel you're tired of me, of me
I sense that you are tired of being with me.
There's no feeling when you touch me, touch me
There is a lack of emotional connection when you touch me.
Ive felt unwanted for so long, I'm so gone
Feeling consistently unwanted for an extended period.
Leave me alone, instead of lonely, lonely
Expressing a desire to be left alone instead of feeling lonely.
I can feel you're tired of me, of me
I sense that you are tired of being with me.
There's no feeling when you touch me, touch me
There is a lack of emotional connection when you touch me.
Ive felt unwanted for so long, I'm so gone
Feeling consistently unwanted for an extended period.
Leave me alone, instead of lonely, lonely
Expressing a desire to be left alone instead of feeling lonely.
Lonely, lonely
Loneliness is emphasized.
Lonely, lonely
Repetition of the theme of loneliness.
