The Fear of Loneliness

When I see you, look across the room
My heart parts in two, you’ve swept me like a broom
Going in your direction is like guillotine
Struggling to breathe, struggling to be free
I’m afraid that I have reached the sky
It may be wrong to say, And I hope that its a lie
The credit that I give, is far too much for you
I promised to be true, but I’m left in the blue
The fear of loneliness is not so near that I’ll give you the time of day
To me, my self-respect, in retrospect
Was not in vain
You’re the siren, and I’m the ship at sea
You’re not welcomed by me, but I’ll see you in my dreams
Seeing love end shouldn’t be a trend
But I know you my friend, and you’ll go through this again
The fear of loneliness is not so near that I’ll give you the time of day
To me, my self-respect, in retrospect
In retrospect
Outro
I’m looking in the mirror, to know if you’ll come nearer
These must be growing pains because you’ll drive me insane
