let there be lonely

let there be lonely

i'm ready to grieve

the love i've been holdin' on to

i've tried so hard to keep sayin' you're mine

now it's time

now it's time

let there be hurtin' i'm craving the tears

that have burned in my eyes for so long

i want to feel every drop of the pain

as i cry

as i cry

i'm gonna' suffer the aching i've earned

mark this one down as a lesson i've learned

'cause the only way out of here

it's the only way out of here

let there be daggers that tear through my skin

down to my heart where the whole thing begins

make me a new one and i'll love again

until then

until then

let there be lonely

it's the only way out of here

oh the only way out of here

let there be lonely i'm ready to grieve

the love i've been holding on to

i've tried so hard to keep sayin' you're mine

now it's time

now it's time
