Only The Lonely

Listen, darlin', to every word I say

I left you long before today

My sweet darlin', don't even try to sway

Love is lost and I must walk away

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

Only the lonely stay

When love's no longer served

The fire doesn't burn

They hold on so desperately

Mm

Mm

Mm

There's a truth in the dark

It's gonna break you down so steel your heart

"You don't love me, you just lonely," 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 world's apart

And you'll never call it though you're staring at the clock

I know I've said it all before

But now I feel it

Only the lonely stay

When love's no longer served

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

They hold on, so desperately (so desperately)

And only the lonely stay

When love's no longer served

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

They hold on so desperately (so desperately)

Listen, darlin', every word I say

I left you long before today

My sweet darlin', don't even try to sway

Love is lost and I must walk away

I must walk away

I must walk away

I must walk away

I must walk away
