Lyrics

Lonely

[Verse 1]

Miles and miles of space between

The black and white of you and me

The silver line on the other side

Lost it shine when I took the ride

You can see right through these eyes

What I feel for you, I can't disguise

[Chorus]

I thought I'd be happy being alone

But I'm lonely

I thought I'd be better on my own now

I'm sorry, you told me

I would come on and beg to you again

Than regret everything that I did

I thought I'd be happy being alone

But I'm lonely, I'm lonely

[Verse 2]

Empty rooms and bad mistakes

Message learned way too late

How to change what I begun

Choices made, the damage done

See it leaving on my face

What I feel for you I can't replace

[Chorus]

I thought I'd be happy being alone

But I'm lonely

I thought I'd be better on my own now

I'm sorry, you told me

I would come on and beg to you again

Than regret everything that I did

I thought I'd be happy being alone

But I'm lonely, I'm lonely

I thought I'd be happy being alone

But I'm lonely

I thought I'd be better on my own now

I'm sorry, you told me

I would come on and beg to you again

Than regret everything that I did

I thought I'd be happy being alone

But I'm lonely, I'm lonely
