It Gets Lonely

It gets lonely

so, so lonely

Surrounded by all these people

With important things to do

It gets lonely

so, so lonely

Surrounded by all these people

When none of them are you.

The meetings they are running late for

And the calls they need to take

Syncing calendars and appointments

on their cigarette break.

Blinking schedules and reminders

and the emails BCC'd

Wanting things they're never getting.

Getting things they'll never need.

It gets lonely

so, so lonely

Surrounded by all these people

With important things to do

It gets lonely

so, so lonely

Surrounded by all these people

When none of them are you.

Feels like I'm moving in slow motion

Or am I standing still?

In an ocean filled with taxi cabs

and people dressed to kill.

As their watches tick the hours

diamond dangling from their ears.

Like a symphony of silence.

Making music no one hears.

It wouldn't be this hard for me

if I knew you were still mine.

I tell myself I'm doing better

I tell myself I'm doing fine.

It gets lonely

so, so lonely

Surrounded by all these people

With important things to do

It gets lonely

so, so lonely

Surrounded by all these people

But none of them are you.

None of them are you
