The Loneliness Song

[Intro]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
I'm sitting alone on the sidelines
Warming the bench for the meantime
Could settle the pain if I'm put in the game
'Cause working the team is when I shine
I'm driving myself through the country
The loneliness stands to confront me
But seeking another in a long lost lover
Is a sure-fire way to go hungry

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause each day burns by with regret
A wasted, abandoned cigarette
And all this time would be a sweeter ride with someone by my side

[Chorus]
So, I don't want to sleep a wink or pour myself another drink
Another table set for one, when all the world is having fun
I don't want to be the only one who's feeling lonely
Standing faceless in a crowd, anonymous
I can't be proud of falling into solitude
The lonely life I always knew, I don't want to be so lonely
I don't want to be lonely

[Verse 2]
I'm tired of keeping my secrets, so you can feel free to repeat this
Half of the time all the pleasure is mine
And the other half serves as my weakness
I'm tired of sleep without dreaming
I'm tired of touch without meaning
I'm tired of falling beyond the extremes
And I'm tired of in-betweening

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause each day burns by with regret
A wasted, abandoned cigarette
And all this time would be a sweeter ride with someone by my side

[Chorus]
So, I don't want to sleep a wink or pour myself another drink
Another table set for one, when all the world is having fun
I don't want to be the only one who's feeling lonely
Standing faceless in a crowd, anonymous
I can't be proud of falling into solitude
The lonely life I always knew, I don't want to be so lonely
I don't want to be lonely

[Bridge]
Thrills and needs won't mix, I don't need those kicks
I can get my fix through limericks on loneliness

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause each day burns by with the rest
A wasted, abandoned cigarette
And all this time would be a sweeter ride with someone by my side

[Chorus]
So, I don't want to sleep a wink or pour myself another drink
Another table set for one, when all the world is having fun
I don't want to be the only one who's feeling lonely
Standing faceless in a crowd, anonymous
I can't be proud of falling into solitude
The lonely life I always knew, I don't want to be so lonely
I don't want to be lonely
Well, I don't want to sleep a wink or pour myself another drink
Another table set for one, when all the world is having fun
I don't want to be the only one who's feeling lonely
Standing faceless in a crowd, anonymous
I can't be proud of falling into solitude
The lonely life I always knew, I don't want to be so lonely
I don't want to be lonely
