[Verse 1]
When your love walks out on you and all that you can do is face it
And it leaves a big ol’ pit and there ain’t no one there to replace it
And you sit alone at night and you wonder, wonder where they are
Are they home? Are they alone? Are they, are they near or far?

[Chorus]
And you’re alone for a long, long time
Yeah, for a time, you are alone for a long, long time
You are alone for a long, long time
Yeah, for a time, you are alone for a long, long time
You are alone for a long, long time
Yeah, for a time, you are alone for a long, long time
You are alone for a long, long time
Yeah, for a time, you are alone for a long, long time

[Verse 2]
All that you can do is sit and wait for things to pass
It’s gon’ always go by slow, it gon’ never go by fast
One day, you're gon’ wake up, forget who they are
Looking in the mirror at only just a scar
One day, they gon’ call you, but it’s been too long
You was weak and broken, but now you’re feeling strong
Maybe you gon’ miss ‘em, maybe you feel bad
But missing them a little bit’s better than feeling sad
[Chorus]
You were alone for a long, long time
Yeah, for a time, you were alone for a long, long time
You were alone for a long, long time
Yeah, for a time, you were alone for a long, long time
You were alone for a long, long time
Yeah, for a time, you were alone for a long, long time
You were alone for a long, long time
Yeah, for a time, you were alone for a long, long time

[Outro]
How come now you’re missing me that I’m gone?
I’ma be better off on my own
Now you’re not a friend of me, you’re a song
I’ma be better off all alone
How come now you’re missing me that I’m gone?
I’ma be better off on my own
Now you’re not a friend of me, you’re a song
I’ma be better off all alone
