A Song About Loneliness

I’m older now
I’m wide awake
Turning 34
Didn’t build a house
Didn’t plant a tree
But I’ve sure been on the road

I’ve seen all different people
Know what they do
Some just hide their frown
And others bring you down
But all will show up
Chasing after you

But I’m not planning to go
I’m not up for a race
I’m in a different space
I don’t care about your rules
And the more I live the more I know
That I will die alone

It’s not that I don’t like you
You’ve got your charms
But I’m getting tired
When you seem to lie
About the person that you say you are

You think the world is yours, boy
Oh no, it’s all on loan
And we both know
What feeds your mouth and makes your mamma proud
Will send you to your comfort zones

But I’m not planning to go
I will make my way through the love and the pain
I don’t care about my bones
And the more I live the more I know
That I will die alone

No, I’m not planning to go
I will fistfight me
Until I’m all set free
And for you I’ll build a home

But the more I live
The more I know
That I will die alone
