Solitude Lyrics

This song is about being in love with someone who doesn't know you love them. Perhaps you can't have them, or perhaps they are blind to the fact that you're in love with them. It's about trying to accept that you will never be with this person. It's about the pain of not being able to tell them your feelings. It's excruciating. I've been there. You just want to tell them so bad but you can't. You pretend your feelings don't exist when you're around this person, but once you're alone in the solitude again, you know in your heart the ONLY thing you want is to be with this person.

This song is also about feeling completely alone, every day. You feel forgotten and abandoned, perhaps by ex-lovers or even friends, because everyone just seems to leave. Everyone seems to have someone and you're just constantly fighting on your own. Solitude is the only thing in your life and it hurts, but you keep coming back to it because it's the only thing you know. This song makes my soul physically ache. It breaks my heart because I can relate to it SO much.

Thank you, Amy, for this beautiful, sensitive song and for making me feel like I'm not the only person who has felt like this.
