Chasing Lonely
Boys of Fall Lyrics

I'VE BEEN ON A KICK, CHASING LONELY.
I have been fixated on feeling lonely and trying to solve it.

I CAN FEEL HATE, YOU DON'T KNOW ME.
Even though I feel a lot of negative emotions, you do not understand me.

NO, YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
You are not able to comprehend my feelings and actions.

WHY I STAY AWAY.
I stay away from others because of my emotional struggles.

ISOLATE MYSELF EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I purposefully disconnect from others every day.

HEY, I'VE BEEN WORKING HARD KEEPING LOW KEY.
I have been putting effort into appearing unobtrusive and undetectable.

HEY, ALL OF YOU FAKE AND YOU DON'T SEE, ME, FADE AWAY QUICK CAUSE IT'S BURNING.
I feel like others are insincere and cannot see me, which makes me want to withdraw even more.

HEY, CUT YOU ALL OUT IN A HEARTBEAT.
I would quickly sever all ties with everyone.

TAKE, YOU AND YOUR HATE.
I want to distance myself from people who bring negativity and animosity into my life.

KEEP IT AWAY BECAUSE NOBODIES SAFE.
I want to protect myself and others from the harmful effects of negativity.

JUST STAY AWAY.
I want others to stay away from me because of my emotional struggles.

LEAVE ME TO WASTE HERE.
I feel trapped and helpless in my emotional state.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH ME?
I am struggling to understand the root of my emotional issues.

I PUT UP WITH THE PAIN YOU BRING.
I tolerate the negative impact others have on me.

YOU'RE THE THORN THAT'S DIGGING IN.
Others are causing me emotional harm and it feels like a persistent and painful thorn in my side.

AND YOU DON'T STOP UNTIL I BLEED.
Others continue to cause me harm even when it is clear that it is negatively impacting me to an extreme degree.

I FEEL THE HEAT, I 'VE GIVEN UP.
I am overwhelmed and have lost all hope.

I FEEL THE NEED TO SAY I KNOW YOU NEVER GAVE A FUCK.
I feel that others do not care about me and my struggles.

YEAH, I DON'T REALLY CARE, I DON'T REALLY CARE.
I have become emotionally numb and indifferent to the well-being of myself and others.

IF I WAKE UP TOMORROW AND YOU'RE NOT THERE.
I would not be affected if others were to suddenly disappear from my life.

THE WAY YOU MAKE ME, DOUBT EVERYTHING THAT I STAND FOR.
Others have caused me to question my values and beliefs.

IT STILL HAUNTS ME.
The impact of others on my emotional state continues to cause me distress even after they are gone.

AND IF I COULD I'D TAKE IT BACK, THE OLD ME.
If I could go back in time, I would try to prevent myself from experiencing emotional struggles.

YOU FUCK WITH ME, NO.
I will not tolerate others causing me emotional harm.

I'M SICK OF PLAYIN WITH YA.
I am tired of dealing with others who cause me emotional harm.

YOU'RE THE THORN, YOU'RE THE THORN IN MY THOUGHTS.
Others continue to cause me emotional distress and it is constantly on my mind.

AND I, NEED TO PULL YOU OUT OF MY HEAD.
I need to find a way to stop thinking about the negative impact others have had on me.

PUT YOURSELF FIRST, I'M SECOND TO NONE.
I prioritize my own well-being above others because of my emotional issues.

TAKE EVERYTHING THAT YOU THINK OF YOUR LOVE.
Others can keep their love and affection because I value my own well-being more.

LIVING WITH YOU, I COULD LIVE WITHOUT.
I would be better off without the negative influence of others in my life.

SO DO YOU.
Others would also be better off without me and my emotional struggles in their lives.

LET ME SEE HOW IT IS, ALL OF THE TIME THAT WE SPENT DON'T MEAN SHIT.
The time spent with others feels meaningless because of the negative impact they have on me.

YOU'RE THE THORN IN MY HEAD, RIPPING YOU OUT.
I want to find a way to remove the negative impact others have on me.
