A Corner Named Loneliness

I’m standing in the corner of a room named loneliness There are people all around me in their ties and fancy dress They’re engaged in conversation and though some of it’s with me without you in my life I’m as lonely as can be I’m laughing as I’m talking but my thoughts are all of you The way we use to laugh and the things we use to do I’m drinking and pretending that everything is fine But secretly I’m dying knowing you’re no longer mine I look around and wonder when this room became so small I’m searching for the exit with my back against the wall The ceiling’s getting shorter and the air is getting thin I dare not think about it or this room will start to spin Your face is flashing through my mind but I need to let it go There are many expectations I maintain this social show Yes somehow I’ll continue with this smile held on my face But secretly I’m dying In this cold and lonely place
