lyrics

Walking outward on a cold and rainy day
Just keeping time to myself, nobody else
No worry's, no one to call my own
Sometimes a loner is the worst thing I could be

I have no one to worship, I'm fine with that
I have some friends with me, and that's that
Sometimes I open windows, catch chatter from next door
Sometimes a loner is the worst thing I could be

Happy to be elsewhere and I'm happy to be here
You were always set on business, I had my mind on games
Sometimes we’d clash, sometimes again and again
Sometimes a loner is the worst thing I could be

We laugh, we fight, you’re always up all night
You keep your tower guarded, and keep the bed warm
When life is getting heavy, we start to drift apart
Sometimes a loner is the worst thing I can be

At night time I was living, in day time I was dead
The workload the carnage was always in my head
I know I'm not the best, but I do the best for me
Sometimes a loner is the worst thing I could be

I miss my misconceptions that kept my hopes so high
Believe it, or not, I was a confident guy
But truth showed its ugly head, and knocked off my toes
Sometimes being a loner is the way it goes

If I died tomorrow, if I died today
Yesterday would stay the same, it wouldn't change a thing
I meant every word I kept to myself
Sometimes being a loner is the worst thing I could be.
