Isolation Lyrics

The best news I've ever heard
Was when you said you wouldn't leave
Because I knew the distance would tear us apart
And all the things you said
Wouldn't mean a thing if you weren't here with me
So as you turn your back to me
I just want to let you know
That I could never do this to you

This is where our roads divide, and they split in two
And I will never see you again
But I respect your choice

The familiar pain sets in again
And I won't let this drag me down
It's things like this that made me who I am today
It's thing like this that helped to shape, make me who I am today
It's every hardship that I've faced

And I've lost hope in myself
But I just want you to know:
As every day goes by
I must accept that you're now living your own life

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
