I'm Not Supposed To Be Lonely When I'm With You - Lyric Critique

Intro: Woman-only ad lib?man returns home to find woman packing. He questions and she states that she has talked to him time and time again but he has not listened and therefore she is leaving. She says she does not want to rehash the things she has already said but will, instead, sum up all the things she has spoken about previously in just one thought and one sentence?I?m not supposed to be lonely when I?m with you

I sit day after day longing for your touch
Lately your affection towards me -- it?s just not that much
I?ve survived for months existing on our distant memories
Your eyes no longer see, and your hands no longer reach for me

I hope for the return of how it used to be
Silent tears fall fearing that you no longer want me
I remember the magical symphonies that we used to make
Now, I?ve been replaced by something or someone as your new mate

When I was by myself, I never felt this badly
I was alone by not never lonely...before you came to me
If your heart and your head have already moved on
Tell me and ?whatever? we have is done

I?m not supposed to be lonely when I?m with you
I?m not supposed to be lonely when I?m with you
I?m not supposed to be lonely when I?m with you

I?m not running the streets or doing shoddy deeds
While I?m a good woman, I am human and I have needs

I try so hard to be true and never leave you in doubt
There?s no place for my release and few opportunities to let it out

So I sit day after day slowly, emotionally dying
My only avenue is not your arms but lonely episodes of crying
I?d rather hear you say that I am not the one
Just be truthful and then we can call this whole thing done

People and feelings change ? I get it, its ok
Breakups happen to good people each and every day
I need to be free of all of this pain and agony
So, if you love or ever loved me?then just set me free

I?m not supposed to be lonely when I?m with you
I?m not supposed to be lonely when I?m with you
I?m not supposed to be lonely when I?m with you

Close: Woman-only ad lib?woman tells man that she does not blame him. Maybe they were not supposed to last forever and that the romance has simply run its course. He begs her not to leave and attempts to embrace her. She pleads with him to let her go and says that this is the right thing to do and that being apart will bring both of them happiness.

Just set me free
Let me fly, let me go
Let me fly, let me go
Let me fly, please just let me go
Let me fly.........goodbye

Sound of door closing
