Takes
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

Instead I'm sitting in this room alone
Wondering why the world feels so unknown

Like sunlight after rain or sown seeds
But promises don't always come to pass
And happiness can slip away so fast

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

The empty chair, the silence after dark
Still leaves its lonely, aching mark

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

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
