Born Lonely

Say the stars just ain’t aligned
For a Taurus and a Gemini
You got some things you need to focus on
You need the space to do it on your own
Tell your mama and your girlfriends
You’re not certain I’m your person
Find a reason why you wanna break it
But it really ain’t complicated, no

I think that you were born lonely
You wanna fall in love but you don’t know how
Hold back ’cause you think it’s only
Just a matter of time before it all goes south
Heartbreak hurts worse than goodbye
And that’s why you do what you always do
I think that you were born lonely
And I know ’cause I was born lonely too

My Mom and dad must have had their reasons
To put a time zone in between ’em
I’ve seen my share of tail lights
Swear my first words were goodbye
A little too good at lettin’ go
Does that sound like anyone you know?

I think that you were born lonely
You wanna fall in love but you don’t know how
Hold back cause you think it’s only
Just a matter of time before it all goes south
Heartbreak hurts worse than goodbye
And that’s why you do what you always do
I think that you were born lonely
And I know ’cause I was born lonely too

I was born lonely too
And I was ’til I met you
So girl run if you gotta run
Before you go just know
You deserve love as much as anyone

Even if you were born lonely
You wanna fall in love but you don’t know how
Hold back ’cause you think it’s only
Just a matter of time before it all goes south
Heartbreak hurts worse than goodbye
And that’s why you do what you always do
I think that you were born lonely
And I know ’cause I was born lonely too

We don’t have to be lonely
We don’t have to be lonely
You, You don’t have to be lonely
You don’t have to be lonely
