loneliness for love
lovelytheband Lyrics

She creeps in at ungodly hours
She appears unexpectedly, often at late or unreasonable times

Her love seems sweet but it tastes so sour
Although her love appears enjoyable, it has an unpleasant or negative effect

Delicate like a dying flower
Fragile, sensitive, and possibly nearing the end

It felt so good so I'm wondering how I could feel so low when you made me feel so high I've been here before but this won't be the last time
The experience was overwhelming and created positive emotions, but the aftermath brought negativity and confusion. This feeling is not unfamiliar, but may happen again.

'Cause I keep mistaking loneliness for love I'm tryna find myself inside someone Anything at all not to feel alone Anything at all just to feel whole 'Cause I keep mistaking loneliness for love
The repetition suggests a cycle of falling for people and mistaking temporary connections for love. Leading to the desire to avoid loneliness and feel fulfilled by finding oneself through someone else.

Hiding out in the peace and quiet All dressed up in her silver lining She shows up when she's uninvited Every time that she sees me smiling
Loneliness seems to lurk in moments of solace, appearing unexpectedly in the presence of joy or positivity.

I say that I will but I'll never change (but I'll never change) I've been here before but I'm still the same
Despite acknowledging the cycle, there may be a resistance to change and a sense of stagnation.

'Cause I keep mistaking loneliness for love I'm tryna find myself inside someone Anything at all not to feel alone Anything at all just to feel whole 'Cause I keep mistaking loneliness for love
Reinforcing the cycle, this chorus emphasizes a desire for connection, even if it is mistaken for love, in order to avoid loneliness and achieve a sense of wholeness.
