File it Away

And when you went away
You asked me to wait
For you

And after the while
You said come and stay
With you

But then by your side
It was clear to me
Either I was not or you didn't need
Your best friend, and

File it away
I file it away
File it away
Hey, oh, I file it away

Now loneliness
Has taken a place
My loneliness
Is a disgrace

For when in love
I am not whole
If I am not whole
Then I'm not

And you wanted things
That I couldn't give
To you

But you couldn't see
I wanted things too
But these are just things
We wanted differently

I know now that means
That we're different too
And this I file

File it away
I file it away
File it away
File it away

She's off the deep
Off in her space
On loneliness
I'll meditate

On loneliness
Oh, and self-hate
On loneliness

Oh, loneliness
Please leave me be
And if I digress
Please leave me be

It's time to go back
To where I was from before
(Before I met you)

Before I had learned
To file things away
And this I file

File it away
I file it away
File it away
File it away
