Lyrics
[verse]
I thought that by this time in life
I'd have a garden and a steady wife
Instead I'm sitting in this room alone
Wondering why the world feels so unknown
[verse]
I used to think that love was guaranteed
Like sunlight after rain or sown seeds
But promises don't always come to pass
And happiness can slip away so fast
[chorus]
And here I am again, alone, quite naturally
Talking to the ceiling, talking just to me
Nobody warned me how the quiet stays
When all the love has drifted from your days
[verse]
My father used to say that time would heal
But time just teaches you the way to feel
The empty chair, the silence after dark
Still leaves its lonely, aching mark
[bridge]
Maybe there's a reason for the rain
Maybe there's a lesson in the pain
I'll keep on walking, keep my head up high
Even when I don't know the reason why
[chorus]
And here I am again, alone, quite naturally
Talking to the ceiling, talking just to me
Nobody warned me how the quiet stays
When all the love has drifted from your days
