[Verse 1]

When your love walks out on you and all that you can do is face it

And it leaves a big ol’ pit and there ain’t no one there to replace it

And you sit alone at night and you wonder, wonder where they are

Are they home? Are they alone? Are they, are they near or far?

[Chorus]

And you’re alone for a long, long time

Yeah, for a time, you are alone for a long, long time

You are alone for a long, long time

Yeah, for a time, you are alone for a long, long time

You are alone for a long, long time

Yeah, for a time, you are alone for a long, long time

You are alone for a long, long time

Yeah, for a time, you are alone for a long, long time

[Verse 2]

All that you can do is sit and wait for things to pass

It’s gon’ always go by slow, it gon’ never go by fast

One day, you're gon’ wake up, forget who they are

Looking in the mirror at only just a scar

One day, they gon’ call you, but it’s been too long

You was weak and broken, but now you’re feeling strong

Maybe you gon’ miss ‘em, maybe you feel bad

But missing them a little bit’s better than feeling sad

[Chorus]

You were alone for a long, long time

Yeah, for a time, you were alone for a long, long time

You were alone for a long, long time

Yeah, for a time, you were alone for a long, long time

You were alone for a long, long time

Yeah, for a time, you were alone for a long, long time

You were alone for a long, long time

Yeah, for a time, you were alone for a long, long time

[Outro]

How come now you’re missing me that I’m gone?

I’ma be better off on my own

Now you’re not a friend of me, you’re a song

I’ma be better off all alone

How come now you’re missing me that I’m gone?

I’ma be better off on my own

Now you’re not a friend of me, you’re a song

I’ma be better off all alone
