The Sound of Being Alone (No More)

written by: OurSacredHonor

It's a battle that rattles my bones
Like that telltale ringing of the phone
Like a drone calling you in monotone
Not a word just the sound of being alone

But I don't have to deal with that anymore
No longer do i sit and wait for strangers at my door
I can lie here in your arms silently on my floor
Knowing that any second you will whisper you want more

Am I lucky or just blessed?
Depends on who you ask I guess
But I confess I've been a mess before
Even though I've tried my best...
but no more

No more alone
No more just me
Now it's us in the mirror that I look and see
Every morning like the sun rising over my shoulder
I'm grateful it's with you that I get to grow older
And I'm thankful I found you as quickly as I did
Even though it seems like we were just kids
But we grew up together now and here we stand
You a beautiful woman, me your faithful man
And it's sitting here at night imagining your voice
That makes me appreciative of all those moments without a noise
Because many have known the sounds of being lonely for way too long
And it's for all of you that I sing this song

It's the sound
Of being alone
The sound of me, myself and I
It's the sound
That when you're at home
Makes you want to break down and cry
I've been there before
Too many times
And I know what it is like
So please take my word
And remember this line:
You'll find yours
In due time
