lyrics

I hold you in my arms until you disappear
then all your charms explode onto my knees
and all the things I saw in YOU I see in HER

I hold HER in my arms until she disappears
all her charms explode onto my feet
everything I saw in HER I see in ME

But things move slowly
when it's just you only.
Sometimes you've got to get to know lonely.

It gets so hard sometimes with nothing there above me
to look down and judge me, it’s just me
and my decisions of my own doing
Oh! I want everyone to love!
I want everyone inside my world!
I want em all to go away!
I want everyone to hurt!

And things go slowly
when it's just you only.
Sometimes you've got to get to know lonely.

No matter what you want, you're worm's meat.
Your body's as good as pig's feet now, if you check out.
So you better love eachother.
And if you can't, love yourself.

Cause things go slowly
When it's just you only
Oh, things go slowly...
So you've got to get to know
get to know lonely
