lonely in a foreign country Lyrics

Over it

I should be over this by now

But I guess I'm just

Behind for my age somehow

And I know everyone's different

It's okay; go at your own pace

But I can't stop myself thinking

I'm different in all the wrong ways

I'm lonely in a foreign country

I know I'm old enough

To be on my own but

I can't quite get past the silence

And there's nowhere to run to

I have to stay this time

Bleeding

I put a bandage on my heel

'Cause I haven't hurt this much

Since I went to New York or I fell out of love

And the funny thing is

I asked for this, this independence

But I tried to make coffee and it turned out horribly

I'm hardly self-sufficient

And I'm lonely in a foreign country

I know I'm old enough

To be on my own but

I can't quite get past the silence

And there's nowhere to run to

I have to stay

I've always felt the need to prove myself to anyone around

But if I'm honest I think I'm really proving to myself

That I can do the hard stuff

I didn't fake my way up

But I still secretly think that I'm just lucky

And no one seems to be noticing

I know I'm old enough

To be on my own but

I can't quite get past the silence

And there's nowhere to run to

(Nowhere to run)

And I'm lonely in a foreign country

I know I'm old enough

To be on my own but

I can't quite get past the silence

And there's nowhere to run to

I have to stay

So far away

In a foreign country
