only a shadow (revisited)

No, I’m not lonely
When I’m with you in the morning, babe,
I feel so happy I could die
So idly by, 
And I can’t remember the reasons why

I’m not lonely,
I’ve got no sleep 
‘Cause I need my room to toss and turn, 
Oh and I tried to let you know
But I had to let you go to realize why
You make me feel less alone,

I’m sorry, baby, that I’m only sorry when I’m lonely, 
I’m sorry, baby, that it ended this way, 
I’m only sorry cause I know how much it hurts to be lonely, 
I’m fucking sorry, baby, I need to breathe,

Yeah, baby, I need to breathe, 
Yeah, baby, I need to be alone,
But only from time to time, 
But only from time to time, I need a second to [breathe] 

So I tried to let you know 
But I had to let you go before I could be alone to realize why
I’m just staring at my phone 
I don’t care if it don’t go, and I know that it won’t,

And I feel alive,  
Feel afraid,
I feel all right, 
Feel the pain 
In every way, 
I need it in every way,
I feed it in every way, 
The shit I put in my veins, 
‘Cause even with you, baby, 
I wouldn’t hold my breath because I feel less alone,  

I’m sorry, baby, that I’m only sorry when I’m lonely,
I’m sorry, baby, that it ended this way, 
I’m only sorry ‘cause I know how much it hurts to be lonely, 
I’m fucking sorry, baby, but I need to breathe, 

Yeah, baby, I need to breathe,
Yeah, baby, I need to be lonely,
But only from time to time,
But only from time to time 
I need a second to breathe, 

Cause I’m not lonely, 
I need no sleep, 
I just need to breathe, 
I need to breathe,
I need to breathe,
Yeah, baby, I need to breathe, 
Yeah, baby, I need to breathe,
I need to breathe ‘cause I love you so much I can’t breathe,

I’m sorry, baby, that I’m only sorry when I’m lonely,
I’m sorry, baby, that it ended this way, 
I’m only sorry ‘cause I know how much it hurts to be lonely, 
I’m so fucking sorry I love you, babe.

Letting Go of Something Good

lonely.

It's been a while since I released anything.  So here' a song I wrote a while back!  I've been writing a whole bunch of new material lately that I've been so excited about that I forget about some of my favorite older songs I've written.  I wrote this one back in 2016 about the one that got away.  My wonderful friend Akriza and I have been collaborating a lot lately and one night we decided to play with his gear and try recording acoustically and I didn't realize he was recording this sessions haha.  I hope you guys enjoy!

Constantly torn between a perpetual love for music and an undying love for you.
