Verse 1
I don't check my phone at 2 a.m.
Don't replay every word again
Your shadow doesn't follow me around
Like it did back then
The storm finally ran out of rain
And time softened what it couldn't change
Everybody said the hurt would fade
And somehow they were right
Pre-Chorus
But healing has a funny way
Of leaving something in its place
Chorus
The pain left first
The loneliness stayed
The poison stopped calling my name
The loneliness stayed
The storm moved on
The memories changed
But after all this time
The loneliness stayed
Oh-oh-oh
The loneliness stayed
Oh-oh-oh
The loneliness stayed
Verse 2
I've got good days I never thought I'd see
A stronger version of me
But every win feels quieter somehow
With nobody around
And it isn't you I'm missing now
It's having someone to tell about
The little things that fill a life
When the lights go down
Pre-Chorus
Funny how a heart can heal
And still have empty places
Chorus
The pain left first
The loneliness stayed
The poison stopped calling my name
The loneliness stayed
The storm moved on
The memories changed
But after all this time
The loneliness stayed
Oh-oh-oh
The loneliness stayed
Oh-oh-oh
The loneliness stayed
Bridge
I remember begging heaven
Don't let me fall again
Back when every memory
Felt too heavy to hold in
I went psychotic when you loved her
Turned my whole sky to rolling thunder
And for a while I thought
I'd never be the same
But the storm finally surrendered
And the silence took its place
The poison stopped calling my name
But the loneliness stayed
Final Chorus
The pain left first
The loneliness stayed
The poison stopped calling my name
The loneliness stayed
The storm moved on
The memories changed
But after all this time
The loneliness stayed
Oh-oh-oh
The loneliness stayed
Oh-oh-oh
The loneliness stayed
And maybe that's the difference now—
I'm lonely...
But I'm no longer broken.
