My Love Is A Loneliness Lyrics

My love is a loneliness
It sits just next to greed
It comes on quick and wasteful
It uses up and leaves

My love is an emptiness
To hold but never have
It's permanently fleeting
It runs right through your hands

If everyone leaves and everyone dies
It's just a question of when
If everyone cheats and everyone lies
Rather it me than them

My love is a loneliness
It lives right next to grief
A door you only exit
A room you only leave

My love is a selfishness
My love is a thief
It comes in quick and quiet
It takes more than it needs

If everyone leaves and everyone dies
It's just a question of when
If everyone cheats and everyone lies
Rather it me than them

If the worst should happen
And it will, and will again
I will still be standing
With loneliness, my friend
To start again

If the worst should happen
And it will, and will again
I will still be standing
With loneliness, my friend
My love is a loneliness
It knows the way of things
There are no surprises

If everyone leaves and everyone dies
It's just a question of when
If everyone cheats and everyone lies
Rather it me than them

If the worst should happen
And it will, and will again
I will still be standing
With loneliness, my friend
To start again
