Love Steals Us from Loneliness
Idlewild · Collection [2010]
Through a city that's falling apart
On a night that rises and clears
In a sky that's clouded by years
My anger is a form of madness
So I'd rather have hope than sadness
You said something
You said something stupid like
Loves steals us from loneliness
Happy birthday, are you lonely yet?
I missplaced your face in the shape of a smile
On a night that could never surprise me
Don't tell me you're afraid of the past
It's only the future that's hidden at last
You're kidding yourself, kidding yourself
You're going nowhere and you're going there fast
You said something
You said something stupid like
Loves steals us from loneliness
Happy birthday, are you lonely yet?
You said something, you said something stupid like
Love won't shield us from loneliness
Happy birthday
You said something
You said something stupid like
Loves steals us from loneliness
Happy birthday, are you lonely yet?
Are you lonely yet?
Are you lonely yet?
Are you lonely yet?
