Glory, glory wasn’t made for me
A sailor taken from the sea
Wasn’t made for me

A solider wandering aimlessly
Knight with no avenging creed
Wasn’t made for me

I’m not who I thought I’d be
Nightingale, no song to sing

Glory, glory wasn’t made for me
calling through the dark, you see
It wasn’t made for me

Trumpet splits the sky and sea
Halo cast irradiantly
It wasn’t made for me

I’m not who I thought I’d be
Name left out of history

Honestly, was love even made for me?
Strange soul-shifting mystery
Wasn’t made for me

Passionate love affair
Intimacy that we share
Wasn’t made for me

This isn’t what I thought it’d be
Is pain simply destiny?

I wake up with the sun beaming in my eyes
It’s a beautiful day and I’m feeling alright
Then I pick up my phone, say I’ll be up in five
But when I check again, an hour’s gone by

Why do I even try?

Gotta catch up now, I gotta catch my train
And don’t you dare forget to grab that spare change
I can’t afford to be late and lose my pay
But in my rush, I drop a $20 on the ground somewhere anyway

Why do I even try?

How much time have I wasted trying to not waste time?
I’m pinching pennies just to drop a dollar
Taking shortcuts just to lose it all
Counting out my wins and my losses
Just to prove that I’m worth my soul

We make plans to go out, decide on 8:00pm
Oh I’m stressing and nagging please don’t make us late, oh no
You say “it’s supposed to be fun, why are you acting this way?”
Before it’s even begun, I’ve ruined my own date

Why do I even try?
My ideal doesn’t strive
Not for love or for time

How much time have I wasted trying to not waste time?
I’m pinching pennies just to drop a dollar
Taking shortcuts just to lose it all
Counting out my wins and my losses
Just to prove that, I’m worth my soul

I don’t wanna be afraid anymore
I don’t wanna waste away anymore

I’ve learned to love just being with you
It doesn’t matter if we get where we’re going to

When we met we weren’t ready for what would unfold
Tellin’ you things I thought that I don’t think I’ve ever told
You kissed my lips under the streetlight, grabbed my hand to hold
Tellin’ me “baby, since you’re with me i won’t be alone”

But time makes short work of love
Got me contemplating how it was
Got me wondering…

How could this love be so lonely
How could this love be so lonely
Baby, but you say that you need me
So how come I’m feelin’ so lonely

When you call you take up all the time just talkin’ ’bout yourself
When we’re alone you say you want me through the liquor on your breath

How am I supposed to feel
When it doesn’t seem like you know me for real

How could this love be so lonely
(Baby, how could it be?)
How could this love be so lonely
(How could your love be lonely, baby, when you say…)
Baby, but you say that you need me
So how come I’m feeling so lonely

Zoetic:
Yeah, the idea of love just sounds so unrealistic
And I’ve been chasin’ it ’cause I thought happiness came with it
But truth be told as I get old I learned it ain’t intrinsic
And I knew good things do end, but I was hopin’ you’d be different
But I was wrong
My love is lonely, you can hear it all up in my songs
And you won’t listen when I talk and that’s messed up
And I’m dressed up from head-to-toe in embarrassment
Cause when you told me that you loved me, girl, that ain’t what you meant
You just love the way I make you feel when you feel alone
You just love the fact that when you call I’m quick to the phone
I deserve somebody that’s gon’ miss me when I am gone
You crave attention like a dog to a bone
Damn
You told me what you loved, but you left out yourself
You was fine china that I shoulda left on the shelf
You told me that you loved me more than anything else
Lies that hit under the belt
Zoetic, yeah

I don’t know what to do
I can’t keep on expecting things from you
I don’t know what to say
Besides I know we are not ok

How could this love be so lonely
How could this love be so lonely
Ya know you only call when you need me
Oh and it’s leaving me lonely

How could this love be so lonely
How could this love be so lonely
How could this love be so
Lonely
How could this love be so lonely

How could this love be so
