I walk alone because I never know when someone might trip me
I cry alone because I've outgrown the masks I wear, they just don't fit me
I love alone because the second I turn my back my heart breaks
and that's when it hits me
Being alone and pushing people away
is the best thing for me
I tell myself "Never let anyone in and you will never get hurt"
But it seems that it was just another lie I've fabricated
Even if I don't let anyone in, I still get burned
Even if they can't hurt me, I can still hurt myself
and it seems that I was so busy keeping others out
I didn't realize I had let my own negativity seep in
and so now I'm infected with a disease
I've digested an obsession
with letting people go but never learned my lesson
and once again, it seems I'm doomed
to love alone, cry alone and walk alone
