lonely times

i can distract myself for a while with food
or any other sensual pleasure
but there is still a loneliness deep inside
that no power on earth can measure

and some days are so lonely
it frightens others away
some days are so lonely
no one dares to stay
some days are so lonely
deeper than anyone will go
some days are so lonely
no one wants to know

i can turn on the tv and lose an hour
i can drink or do some drugs and lose a night
i can settle for a lighter kind of sharing
and have comfort for a while, but not delight
for the depths of caring know no limitations
life is pain and you can love it or you die
all the suffering you don't see is still out there
and if you don't feel it you've learned how to lie

remember boy,
you're gonna carry that weight
a long time

some days are so lonely
it frightens others away
some days are so lonely
no one dares to stay
some days are so lonely
deeper than anyone will go
some days are so lonely
no one wants to know

you can pretend you don't know
but the feeling has no where to go
