Making Yourself So Lonely lyrics - Charlie Winston

On the phone you spoke

Picking bones with my friends and lovers

You said, ‘I think you’re living in a bubble, darling’

So, I thought it through and thought 

That maybe you could be on to something

After all, we all have our little blind spots, don't we?

So I looked, I took a good look around me, darling

And we stepped, we took a good step away from familiar humdrum

Such unforgettable and truly magical times

Stop! There I go again, like a fool, trying to paint the perfect picture

It’s easy to romanticise when you’re in the distance, darling

But it wasn’t easy was it, I mean, you never really seemed truly happy

There I was, drunk in love and drowning on a daydream, daily

As you stripped, you stripped me away like paint work, darling

And you picked, you picked me apart and left me in a million pieces

No need to sympathise, but try to realise this:

You’re making yourself so lonely, darling

It’s making me feel so lonesome to know

Stop making yourself so lonely, darling, please.

So, looking back now it’s funny how

I really had the blinkers on me

Like a firework, free falling, ’til I hit the concrete floor

Where my friends picked me back up and held me, darling

It was them and the family who really got me back to hear the music

I hope you got the same and cut out your love games, 'cause

You’re making yourself so lonely, darling

It’s making me feel so lonesome to know

Stop making yourself so lonely, darling, please.

You’re making yourself so lonely, darling

It’s making me feel so lonesome to know

Stop making yourself so lonely, darling, please.

Yes, it’s obvious, well I shouldn’t really need to say this, but,

The truth is that I miss you.
