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
