When You're Lonely

[Verse 1]

When we first met, we'd talk for hours

You wore that dress, the one with flowers

When you walked in, I saw the rest of my life

[Pre-Chorus]

Were we pretending, all those nights?

Dancing to silence in the moonlight

Was it a beautiful waste of time?

[Chorus]

You only call me to say you miss me

When I'm far away from home

You only call me to say you want me

You only love me when you're lonely, oh

[Post-Chorus]

(You only love, love me when you're lonely)

(You only love, love me when you're lonely)

[Verse 2]

We keep spinning back around

And we always end up here

When you mix jealousy with sympathy, oh

Whoa, it always ends in tears

[Chorus]

You only call me to say you miss me

When I'm far away from home

You only call me to say you want me

When you think I'm not alone

You only tell me what I wanna hear

When you think that I'm not listening

Doesn't matter anyway

You only love me when you're lonely, oh

[Bridge]

True love

Doesn't always last forever

True love

Can't always keep two lovers together

Oh, this is true love

This is true love, oh

[Chorus]

Don't call me to say you miss me

When I'm far away from home

You only call me to say you want me

When you think I'm not alone

You only tell me what I wanna hear

When you think that I'm not listening

Doesn't matter anyway

You only love me when you're lonely, oh

[Post-Chorus]

(You only love, love me when you're lonely)

(You only love, love me when you're lonely)

(You only love, love me when you're lonely)

(You only love, love me when you're lonely)
