i love u to the moon n back

leave me lonely

Quiet when the balls are dribbling.
Caught up in myself, drowning in my thoughts.
Sometimes they'll ask why I'm always lonely.
How can I tell them it's because they treat me like a ghost?

I'm shivering in the bleachers now.
I got no throne-got nothing to make them bow.
Happy for everyone who's really having fun,
even if it means my heart will drown in eternal tears.

But you'll be better off if you leave me here.
Seems like you're just fine even without me,
and I bet nothing would change if I was never around to watch,
so I guess it's better for you to leave me lonely.

Percussion drums
and the throbbing bass
shake the core in me,
and that's actually kind of a relief
because I get to distract myself from you.

I can't help but notice how well you are
as if life has never been better without me.

Just leave me lonely,
and you'll be okay.
Even if I need you more
than they need you,
I'll be okay eventually,
so leave me lonely
even if it means to look away when I crumble

into ashes and sand-
there ain't gonna be a phoenix that'll rise again.
I thought loneliness was buried in my past,
but thinking that was my worst mistake.
How could I have been so gullible?
If only I knew how to adjust to
being a lone wolf like I am...

so leave me lonely,
and we'll all be fine.
I'll just sit here, shivering,
'cause I need to know why
I've disappeared away from your life
as if I'm just that one dude who came and went away....

just leave me lonely,
and I'll be happy for you.
