learning to be lonely - yve blake lyrics
[verse 1] [edna]
last year sat right here
we laughed ’til we p*ssed ourselves
we we perfect then
best friends
why are you trying to be someone else?
we’ve always been feral
we’ve always been fine
now jules’ parents are fighting and so she’s at me all the time
brianna’s saying nothing
just staring at the floor
what if they don’t go back to who they were before?
[chorus]
and what do i do now?
play along?
quiet down?
bite my tongue and just
swallow a scream
is this growing up?
is it just about shutting up
and learning to be
learning to be lonely
[verse 2]
the first time i ever saw mum cry
i was eleven, she held a letter
she said she was so proud ’cause
i’d won a scholarship
some school for rich kids
don’t wanna go but there’s no way out
cut to now
she’s so stressed about me doing my best
she tells me “think of your future”
yeah well, the planet will be dead
oh, everyone is telling me
who i am an how to be
all the pressure’s pressing in
and i can’t take a breath
[chorus]
no one’s on my team
now it’s just me
so what can i do but
swallow a scream
is this growing up?
is it just about shutting up
and learning to be
learning to be lonely
[bridge]
it’s the beginning of the end
do i have a single friend?
or is it just me and the lonely black?
only one person understands
and he doesn’t know who i am
but harry, i know if we met
you’d love me back
cause you know exactly
exactly what it’s like
to feel this kind of lonely
and trapped in your life
to have no one who gets you
no one you can trust
your mum’s hopes are on your shoulders
but you’ll never be enough
it’s not just teenage fantasy
i’m more than just your fan, ’cause see
it’s gravity
the way i feel
this pull
of me to you
and you to me
like we could set each other free
we could run away from it all
and i know we’re on opposite sides of this rock
and each girl that you meet is a tick on your clock
but what if i’m your tock
your ever after?
everything you never knew you needed is what i’ve
got
[chorus]
don’t care what they say
cause i know one day
you’re gonna know my name
just wait and see
when you see me
you’ll hold me
you’ll know me
and finally
we won’t have to be
learning to be lonely
[post chorus]
cause they’re all wrong about you
they’re wrong about me
wait and see
we won’t be learning
to be lo*
