Devastation
Middleton Malcolm Lyrics

And you're the only person that can make me feel alone
I feel the most alone when I'm around you, and your lack of attention and affection is what causes it.

Just withdraw your eyes and you'll hear me start to moan
Your lack of eye contact with me makes me feel ignored, and it hurts me emotionally.

I've never felt so lonely as when you're in the next room
Even when you're physically present, your emotional absence and lack of attention towards me makes me feel more alone than when you're away.

I hope you come back in here, come back in here soon
I yearn for your presence and energy because it makes me feel less alone and forgotten. I miss you.

Had your face in my eyes all weekend now you're gone
I spent the entire weekend with you, and now that you're gone, the memories of your face and physical presence make me feel even more lonely.

24 long miles but my car's broken down
I'm facing a difficult situation where my car has broken down, and I won't be able to reach you easily despite my longing for your company.

He won't travel 3 and he can't travel 10
I'm trying to figure out a way to see you, but the distance between us and the unwillingness of the one who could have helped me is making it hard.

So when will we ever see you again
I'm feeling helpless, wondering when we'll meet again and connect emotionally. It's a question that haunts me constantly.

And I've been so devastated
The way I feel right now is beyond 'sad' or 'down', it's an overwhelming sense of devastation and despair.

I've never felt more betrayed
Your lack of attention and emotional neglect feels like a betrayal, almost as if you've purposely hurt me and ignored my need for affection.

Got a spring in my eye and a light in my step
Despite my sadness and loneliness, I still have hope that things will get better between us, which brings a glimmer of joy to my emotional state.

I wasn't made to feel this way
The current situation between us is making me feel emotionally challenged and uneasy, and it's not how I was meant to feel in this relationship.

Got your hair in my hands and your legs running to me
I'm thinking of how good it feels to be physically intimate with you, and how much I crave that physical connection to help alleviate my emotional distress.

Should I lick the bath or should I wait till Tuesday
I'm experiencing an emotional high and craving for physical intimacy with you that seems so strong, that I'm willing to do something irrational and unnecessary like 'licking the bath' just to somehow feel closer to you in the moment.

I'm sorry for the silence I'm sorry for the noise
I'm apologizing for any of my actions or inactions that may have contributed to our current emotional disconnect, and I'm willing to do anything to bridge that gap.

You know I'll make it up to you with a million steak McCoys
I'm promising to make it up to you, to compensate for my neglect or wrongdoing, with something that will make you happy - in this case, a specific snack or item you enjoy.

And how can you like me
I'm questioning how you could possibly feel affection or attraction to me, considering how low I feel currently - this is a moment of self-doubt for me.

With this head and these arms
I'm questioning my physical and emotional appearance, wondering how someone like you could possibly be attracted to me when I have so many flaws.

How can this shallow freak be accused of having charm
Despite my self-doubt and questioning of my worth, I recognize that I have some charm and likability, and I'm surprised that someone like you could see that in me.

The way the earthquakes land when I blow my nose
I'm making a lighthearted and humorous observation about something mundane and insignificant like sneezing, in an effort to lighten the emotional tone of the conversation.
