This Is for the Lonely

I've sung songs about sun and rain,

Morning flights and midnight trains,

Old dirt roads and diamond rings,

And whiskey drinkin'.

Pickup trucks and Cadillacs,

The right and wrong side of the tracks,

The kind of love that always last,

But tonight I'm singin'...

For all the hearts that had to break,

For all the nights you lied awake,

For all the love not meant to be,

This is for the lonely.

All these miles and cigarettes,

All those words I left unsaid,

Playin' over in my head,

Like some old movie.

Where the girl says goodbye,

The color fades to black and white,

There's nothing left to do but cry.

No happy endings...

For all the hearts that had to break,

For all the nights you lied awake,

For all the love not meant to be,

This is for the lonely.

For all the hearts that had to break,

For all the nights you lied awake,

For all the love not meant to be,

This is for the lonely.

For the lonely...

I've sung songs about sun and rain,

Morning flights and midnight trains...

But this is for the lonely.
