Lift the Lonely from My Heart

I am a lonely woman who loves you
Lonely, I have always been
Many things have found their way between us
But none more than my loneliness
Waxing, waning, always complaining
Always trying to fix what already works
Pining, mining, for a feeling I’m not finding
Looking to you to tell me what I’m worth
When morning comes, whistling comes the bluebird
While I try to find the will to wake
My loneliness, it blurs the days together
My loneliness, it pushes you away
Working, cursing, in circles I am searching
Looking for a cure to lift me up
Trying, lying, just to keep myself smiling
Believing that our love is strong enough
Can you still see the good inside me?
Or do you see a shell of who I was?
The loneliness has grown so much, it shadows
You, the only one I truly love
Coping, hoping, for a way of outgrowing
These thoughts that keep me in the dark
Minding, finding, always such bad timing
To learn that only I can ignite the spark
Only I can lift the lonely from my heart
