The Lonely One

If anyone should wonder why I'm sad and blue
If anyone should ask why I'm alone
Just tell them about the love that broke my heart in two
And that I'm the lonely one from now on

If some good soul should offer me their sympathy
For love that could be had for someone else
I'll tell them not to waste their precious love on me
Because I'm the lonely one by myself

Oh, why must I cry with a broken heart?
Oh, why must I sigh and moan?
There's no other love to even play the part
So I guess I'll just leave them alone

So, if you want to love and have your love return
Just stay away from me and you'll be free
If I have felt the pain of having real love spun
Now I'm the lonely one, poor me
