Only the Lonely

[Refrain]

Listen, darling, to every word I say

I left you long before today

My sweet darling, don't even try to sway

Love is lost and I must walk away

[Pre-Chorus]

I know I've said it once before

But now I feel it more and more

I know I've said it once before

But now I feel it more and more

[Chorus]

Only the lonely stay

When love's no longer served

The fire doesn't burn

They hold on so desperately

[Verse]

There's a truth in the dark

It's gonna break you down, so steel your heart

"You don't love me, you just lonеly"

That's what my mind say

Your daddy left you guilty

That's what you don't see

And I give up trying 'cause I'm feeling worlds apart

And you'll nеver call it though you're staring at the clock

[Pre-Chorus]

I know I've said it all before

But now I feel it

[Chorus]

Only the lonely stay

When love's no longer served

The fire doesn't burn (It doesn't burn)

They hold on so desperately (So desperately, so desperately)

And only the lonely stay

When love's no longer served

The fire doesn't burn (It doesn't burn)

They hold on so desperately (So desperately, so desperately)

[Refrain]

Listen, darling, to every word I say

I left you long before today

My sweet darling, don't even try to sway

Love is lost and I must walk away

[Outro]

I must walk away

I must walk away

I must walk away

I must walk away
