Lyrics

We walked the loneliest mile

We smiled without any style

We kiss altogether wrong, no intention

We lied about each other's strengths

We lived without each other, thinkin'

What anyone would do without me and you

It's like I told you only the lonely can play

So hold on, here we go

Hold on to nothin' we know

I feel so lonely way up here

You mention the time we were together so long ago

Well, I don't remember, all I know is it makes me feel good now

It's like I told you only the lonely can play

Only the lonely, only the lonely can play

Only the lonely, only the lonely can play

It's like I told you only the lonely can play

Only the lonely, only the lonely can play
