I tell myself that I'm okay
Being on my own
People say hi, I push them away
Do I want to stay alone?

After losing all those I have loved
Am I afraid of losing again?
Afraid that if I love once more
It will only turn to pain.

That's why my heart feels this way
A cold and empty space
I must light a little fire inside
To thaw this lonely place.
