making yourself so lonely

on the phone you spoke

picking bones with my friends and lovers

you said

'i think you're living in a bubble

darling'

so

i thought it through and thought

that maybe you could be on to something

after all

we all have our little blind spots

don't we?

so i looked

i took a good look around me

darling

and we stepped

we took a good step away from familiar humdrum

such unforgettable and truly magical times

stop! there i go again

like a fool

trying to paint the perfect picture

it's easy to romanticise when you're in the distance

darling

but it wasn't easy was it

i mean

you never really seemed truly happy

there i was

drunk in love and drowning on a daydream

daily

as you stripped

you stripped me away like paint work

darling

and you picked

you picked me apart and left me in a million pieces

no need to sympathise

but try to realise this: you're making yourself so lonely

darling

it's making me feel so lonesome to know

stop making yourself so lonely

darling

please. so

looking back now it's funny how

i really had the blinkers on me

like a firework

free falling

'til i hit the concrete floor

where my friends picked me back up and held me

darling

it was them and the family who really got me back to hear the music

i hope you got the same and cut out your love games

'cause

you're making yourself so lonely

darling

it's making me feel so lonesome to know

stop making yourself so lonely

darling

please. you're making yourself so lonely

darling

it's making me feel so lonesome to know

stop making yourself so lonely

darling

please. yes

it's obvious

well i shouldn't really need to say this

but

the truth is that i miss you.
