Melancholy Reflections

[intro] [Verse] Nothing prepares you For the loneliness Empty nights Filled with regret Heartache's what I know best [Verse 2] Nowhere to run to And no one to hold Longing for a love that's lost In this bitter cold [Chorus] In the silence of the night I'm drowning in my tears Every moment feels so long When loneliness appears [Verse] Nothing prepares you For the lonely nights When the city sleeps And you're left alone No one to hold you close No one to wipe your tears Just an empty street And your fears [Verse 2] Nothing prepares you For the emptiness inside When the silence takes over And there's nowhere to hide [Verse] Late at night The silence surrounds In my bed I'm lost and I'm found Heart feels heavy No one's around This loneliness It's pulling me down Darkness creeps in It's hard to resist Aching inside No one to assist Tossing and turning My mind won't desist This loneliness It's hard to persist [Verse 2] Empty room Echoes in my head Shadows dance As tears are shed Searching for warmth in an empty bed This loneliness It's driving me mad [Verse] No one told me No one warned me 'Bout the feeling that I'm feeling deep inside I don't know how to be on my own All these nights I'm lying here alone Oh [Verse 2] Didn't see it coming Didn't see it go Now my heart is sinking Sinking oh so low Never thought that I'd be on my own But here I am Left standing all alone Oh [Chorus] Heartache Oh Heartache I never knew it'd hurt this way Oh Heartache Oh Heartache I'm feeling it every single day Oh [Verse] Late nights all alone Feeling lost in the unknown Every step I take I'm breaking down and feeling low No one warned me 'bout the pain No one showed me how to cope But I'm standing strong Learning how to be on my own [Verse 2] Memories of you They haunt me when the night is through But I won't let them take control I'll find my way Gotta push through In this empty room I'm finding strength I never knew I'm writing my story Learning how to be on my own [Chorus] On my own On this winding road I walk alone But I'll keep pushing forward I won't be overthrown I'll find my light in the darkness I'll make my heart a home I'm standing tall 'cause nothing prepared me for being here on my own
