V-1
Only the lonely ever really knows
How the song of blues goes.
Only someone that sad,
could hurt that bad.
V-2
Only someone's heart sunk that low
no longer feels love's strong flow. Yes, a heart that no longer feels,
thinks that love could never be real.
Chorus
The lonely, a million tears cries
for a little more of their heart dies.
Only the lonely really knows
how slow, at night, times goes.
V-3
To burn through the night
found in a broken heart
that loneliness holds
never wanting to let go.
V-4
How the light the lonely miss
as darkness is all loneliness is.
No heart should hurt that much
for no sun is bright enough.
Bridge
Yes, when you know loneliness that well
then you have discovered your own hell.
You know, all the feelings blues bring
still that song you don't like to sing.
Chorus
The lonely, a million tears cries
for a little more of their heart dies.
Only the lonely really knows
how slow, at night, times goes.
Only the lonely really knows how slow,
at night, times goes.
