Talking To Myself

I'll admit I'm lonely
 And need someone to hold me
 Just to sleep at night
 But I'd rather be alone
 Rather wake up on my own
 Come morning time
 The days pass so slowly and it never fades
 Evening comes, I'm looking for somebody else
 These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself
 Despite my best efforts to try and learn to forgive
 I find me haunted by the ghosts of all those that I just can't forget
 And I know better than to think that it can be fixed
 Best that I can do is just to learn to live with this
 I'm in a lot of pain and I need some help
 I don't dare tell nobody else
 These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself
 ♪
 I rarely go out, and when I go
 I always hope I don't see anyone I know
 'Cause the drinks bring no joy to me, I just can't remember when
 All the drugs begin to fail me,
 left me only with a lonely child to fend
 I tried to love and I failed
 I've put my heart on a shelf
 These are things I say only when I'm talking to myself
