I'm Only Here 'Cuz I'm Lonely

about

I love this song, forever and always. The brutal honesty of it always catches me off guard, even though I helped write it. I've always believed that music should be this fearless because when you hold nothing back, you find that there's more than a few others out there that can completely relate.

lyrics

I'M ONLY HERE 'CUZ I'M LONELY
(KARLEEN WATT/RACHEL WILLIAMS)

AT SOME POINT IN MY LIFE I REALIZED
THAT LOVE MAY NEVER COME FOR ME
SO I SETTLE FOR THE NEXT BEST THING
AND HOPE IT'S GOOD ENOUGH
SO HERE I AM AT YOUR DOOR
AND I CAN TELL YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
WELL DON'T WORRY, BABY THAT'S OKAY
I'LL DO THE TALKING

YOU KNOW WHAT I'M ABOUT TO ASK
BUT THIS TIME THERE'S NO STRINGS ATTACHED

I'M ONLY HERE 'CUZ I'M LONELY
I KNOW DAMN WELL YOU DON'T LOVE ME
SO HOLD ME TIGHT AND DON'T JUDGE ME
I'M ONLY HERE 'CUZ I'M LONELY

REGRET IS GONNA COME UP WITH THE SUN
BUT I'M THE ONE WHO MADE THIS BED
SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT
AND IT WON'T BE EASY

BUT I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT TOMORROW TONIGHT
AND I DON'T CARE THAT IT'S NOT RIGHT

I'M ONLY HERE 'CUZ I'M LONELY
I KNOW DAMN WELL YOU DON'T LOVE ME
SO HOLD ME TIGHT AND DON'T JUDGE ME
I'M ONLY HERE 'CUZ I'M LONELY
AND I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MIND
BUT IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO FACE THE DARK SOMETIMES
TOMORROW I'LL BE GONE, AND YOU'LL BE FREE
I'M ONLY HERE 'CUZ I'M LONELY

AND I'M NOT ASKING YOU TO CHANGE YOUR MIND
BUT IT'S A LITTLE HARD TO FACE THE DARK SOMETIMES
TOMORROW I'LL BE GONE, AND YOU'LL BE FREE
I'M ONLY HERE 'CUZ I'M LONELY

AT SOME POINT IN MY LIFE I REALIZED
THAT LOVE MAY NEVER COME FOR ME
SO I SETTLE FOR THE NEXT BEST THING...
