Loneliness Is Good Company

Verse 1] It's just me again tonight Another chair, another light No one knocking at my door But I don't need to be someone more [Verse 2] I used to hate the empty room The ticking clock, the quiet gloom I turned the music up too loud Just to feel like I was in a crowd But somewhere down this lonely road I learned to carry my own load [Chorus] Now silence doesn't feel so strange And being alone ain't something to change So pull up a chair, come and sit awhile Loneliness, you know how to make me smile You never judge, you never pretend You've been my stranger, you've become my friend [Verse 3] We talk about the things I hide The storms I face, the tears inside You don't have answers, but that's alright You keep me company through the night [Chorus] I'm okay alone, I'm finding my way I don't need a crowd at the end of the day Loneliness talks and I answer back We walk together down this winding track I'm not broken, I'm not lost I've learned that peace is worth the cost [Verse 4] If the world moves on and leaves me behind I've got a friend in this quiet mind I watched the seasons come and go Learn more from silence than I used to know There's a kind of freedom in an empty space When you stop running from your own face [Bridge] I can laugh alone, I can dream alone I can make these four walls feel like home And if tomorrow brings someone new There'll be room for them, but room for me too So let them talk, let them wonder why I don't chase every passing light I've made my peace with the night So long, turned all my whispers into a song [Final Chorus] Loneliness, you've heard it all Every rise and every fall You've seen me bend, you've watched me grow You're the oldest friend I've come to know I'm okay alone, I'm finding my way I don't need a crowd at the end of the day Loneliness talks and I answer back We walk together down this winding track I'm not broken, I'm not lost I've learned that peace is worth the cost [Outro] If the world moves on and leaves me behind I've got a friend in this quiet mind Maybe someday someone will stay Maybe love will find its way But I won't beg and I won't pretend That I need somebody just to feel whole again I can welcome love, I can let it go I can stand my ground when the cold winds blow Being alone doesn't mean I'm undone Sometimes the hardest fight is the one you won I'm okay alone, hear me say I found my strength along the way Loneliness talks and I answer back We made a home on this winding track I'm not broken, I'm standing tall I don't need somebody to save me from it all And if the world goes quiet tonight Me and my shadow will be alright So pull up a chair, stay awhile Tell me your stories, make me smile The room is quiet, but I'm not alone Loneliness is good company When you've learned to call yourself home
