See the thing is,

I'm stuck in a fucking rut.

Standing in crowds of people

With one another to cling to.

Yet it's always only me.

And I don't have a problem being single,

I've just gotta problem with feeling alone.

And when I say alone,

I mean I feel like there's no one by my side.

Which is a shitty thing to think, you know?

Cause there's people that'll always stay,

And those that'll come and go.

But despite knowing that,

I can't shake these thoughts.

Someone help me please,

How do I escape my mind,

When it's all I've got left.

Though that's being kind.

It's in shambles,

It's an utter mess.

Thoughts strewn about,

Constant feelings of unrest.

And I can't shake this feeling,

That no one's really here.

As if when I turn around

expecting someone to be there,

There's just gonna be an empty street

And dim lights.

See the thing is,

This rut I'm in

Always comes and goes.

Which honestly, makes it worse.

I'll go from trusting everyone

To doubting everything

At the snap of a finger

At the flip of a switch.

And though things suck

And my mind's a mess,

I can see the metaphorical light

At the end of the tunnel.

Where things are how they should be,

And I don't feel so lonely.

I've just gotta keep pushing on,

Follow the tracks of those

Who've walked this path before me,

And eventually everything will be okay.
