Lonely Lyrics
[Chorus: Guy Sebastian]
I could say it's all for you
A hundred million times
I could sing a song for you
But I can't rewind
It's gonna be a long long long long time
Long long long long
Long long long long time
Long long long long
[Verse 1: Illy]
Last year lessons were the harshest
For really real grasped everyone I love gon' pass
That hit me as hard as flowers on a casket
Took a whole lot of love just to light that darkness
Wish you could tell me what comes after
But I already know the answer 'fore I ask it
That all we can know is when it's done the ones who love us gon' miss us
So I try and make the most of time God give
And though I miss my family, I miss my friends
Though I cried 'til the air was all out my lungs
It made me hold loved ones tighter, and this for them
As long as we breathing I promise they live through us, I swear
[Chorus: Guy Sebastian]
I could say it's all for you
A hundred million times
I could sing a song for you
But I can't rewind
It's gonna be a long long long long time
Long long long long
(Don't you leave me lonely)
Long long long long time
Long long long long
[Verse 2: Illy]
I'm learning nothing here lasts, yeah the money least of all
What's the point? Can't take it when you're gone
All that matters is the heart, that's my family, my spirit and my soul
All the rest mean nothing, they what make my parts whole
Can barely think it but the cold truth is that
I break picturing my world, without you in it
Can't say it to your face, so I put it on a page
And I put it in each hug, tell the sad songs wait
Cause our time together's short
Even when our time together's hard
I remember for as long here as we got
Be a lot longer apart, from my heart, your my heart, like
[Chorus: Guy Sebastian]
I could say it's all for you
A hundred million times
I could sing a song for you
But I can't rewind
It's gonna be a long long long long time
Long long long long
(Don't you leave me lonely)
Long long long long time
Long long long long
[Verse 3: Illy]
I remember, fear nearly drove myself mad
Bedside in a hospital with my mum
Talking life and death with my dad
Choke up even thinking that day gon' come
And growing up my gran hated all my bars
By Two Degrees, she was my biggest fan
I was hers, I swear on the night she passed
Felt her with me on stage, like go on young man, yes gran
Thankful to love that
Our last words were three little ones and
Last year was a really tough one man
Watched mum say goodbye to her mum man
So I'll say it while we're here
Love you more than life itself
I won't you leave you lonely, so don't leave me lonely, yeah yeah yeah
[Chorus: Guy Sebastian]
I could say it's all for you
A hundred million times
I could sing a song for you
But I can't rewind
It's gonna be a long long long long time
Long long long long
(Don't you leave me lonely)
Long long long long time
Long long long long
[Outro: Guy Sebastian]
It's gonna be a long long long long time
Long long long long
(Don't you leave me lonely)
Long long long long time
Long long long long

At some point, someday, you’re going to have to face the fact that not everyone is going to be around. It’s a heavy thought and it’s a conversat...
