I hate the weight and the sound of the silence I hate the feeling like I'm on an island You're moving on and, honey, I'm trying If I said I knew how, well, I'd be lying I know how to kiss you in the dark Know how to hold you in my arms Know how to love you like it's holy Now I know how the high turns into low Know how to slow dance with your ghost Thought time would heal, but I don't know How to be lonely, how to not miss you How to keep going without being with you How to not call you on my way home How do you do it? I don't know How to be lonely How to be lonely How could you expect me to come back from you? Don't hold it against me for something I can't do Baby, you showed me what I had to lose I know you told me it was nothing to you I know how to hurt and hide the scar Know how to have this broken heart Know how to say I'm over you Now I know how to wish that you'll come back Know how to want what I can't have I try, but I don't have a clue How to be lonely, how to not miss you How to keep going without being with you How to not call you on my way home How do you do it? I don't know How to be lonely How to be lonely I know how to hurt and hide the scar Know how to have this broken heart Know how to say I'm over you, over you I know how to wish that you'll come back Know how to want what I don't have I try, but I don't have a clue How to be lonely How to be lonely How to be lonely, how to not miss you How to keep going without being with you How to not call you on my way home How do you do it? I don't know How to be lonely How to be lonely How to be lonely
