LATELY
Lately, loneliness seems so heavy
I've been used to being alone but lately,
I'm struggling with keeping all this luggage inside me
Longing for voices and words to somehow comfort meI told myself I don't need anyone
Since no one—
No one wanted to be the one
All I found was rain and I am the sunI thought I'd be fine
But I looked for a sign
A cup of chocolate or a wine?
I covered the rust with the glitters' shineLately, there's a lot of happenings
In my head I structured all the meanings
If this heavy emotions just have wings
I'll let it go and attach no stringsBeen keeping everything to myself
Like those unread books in shelf
But now I'm ready to tell the story
No listeners 'coz I'm lonelyHow long will I keep this?
"Tell me everything, I'll listen"
"I want to know about it, I'm waitin'"
Those were the words I missCan't remember when I've been so open
When I was 5 year old or somethin'
Now I can't sleep all night awaken
I need someone to at least listenI don't know what's my problem
Or maybe I am the problem
Can't figure out the scheme
It's not that easy as you think it seemLately, my world's really rollin'
My wants and needs are somewhat changin'
Back then I hate drama's and actin'
Now all this time my heart's achin'"You're a good listener, you're rockin'!"
That's the complement Im always receivin'
This listener needs a listener too
Been drowning in void all through and throughI'm excited to spill the tea
Yet no one's available to walk with me
Not being sad for I've been there when you needed me
I think I'll get over it, I'm sorryGuess what happened to me
Well anyway I'll just write it in my diary
Bible will probably be the one to comfort me
I think I'm fine now, honestlyJust confuse about something
My heart's up to familiar feeling
Whenever he's near my heart's pounding
Lately, I think I'm falling
