Lonely Is

Verse 1
On a cold and wintry day the angels came to call
And I was left to mourn your picture on the wall
I’ve suffered through the lonely nights since that fateful day
Now I need to get past losing you I’ve got to find a way
Chorus
Because
Lonely is more than being alone
Lonely is hard and it cuts to the bone
Lonely is feeling empty inside
Lonely is no one knowing that I cried.
Verse 2
I pour another shot to try and ease the pain
I pace the floor and stare at the picture of you again
Your eyes seem to follow me each time that I pass by
But on this cold dark side of midnight no one can see me cry
Chorus
Because
Lonely is more than being alone
Lonely is hard and it cuts to the bone
Lonely is feeling empty inside
Lonely is no one knowing that I cried.
Bridge
And if you can see me
I’m sure you can tell
That I don’t do lonely very well
Verse 3
The rising sun announces that another day has come
I still feel the pain though the bottle now is done
I swear your spirit speak to me every now and then
And I pray you’ll give me strength to face the day again
Chorus (repeat)
Because
Lonely is more than being alone
Lonely is hard and it cuts to the bone
Lonely is feeling empty inside
Lonely is no one knowing that I cried.
