If You're Lonely

One summer I fell in love

For the first time

It would change my whole life

I would learn to love someone

And not be alone

So slowly the love went away

And I was frozen

I didn't want to lose that love

I didn't want to leave behind

Part of myself

I was lonely

But I felt afraid of being loved

I thought I didn't need the pain

I thought that in my heart

I had to be on my own

Now I see it

I was wrong to feel that I couldn't feel love

That I couldn't love again

That I couldn't make new friends

And be someone new

So if you're lonely

You don't have to be

All alone

No one has to be that way

No one has to be afraid of being loved
