Lonely

this song describes almost exactly how i feel...its like a person's totally lonely, but instead of getting hurt again, the person would just rather stay lonely...but at the same time, it's like a cry for help to be saved from the endless lonliness this person faces. Ben Folds always is beautiful in their work, and this is another great song.

i totally agree, this is me too, sometimes after going through an ordeal, loneliness is the only answer, even though you truly dont want to be.

i thought it was about an old man who was basically waiting to die. like the space in an empty room was a room at an old peoples home, and his wife and his friends had all died and he wasnt interested in trying to rebuild a life, he just wanted to die like everyone else he knew. but then you guys seem to understand it better than me
