| We run in circles |
| That never connect at the same time |
| Heaven help the lonely ones |
| As another day older we get, and here we go Spending our money |
| Filling the house with things we hope |
| Will bring us happiness again |
| And then we cover empty hearts up With a full smile that has no joy |
| Lying for love, were dying for more |
| Well you can have anything these days Im sure |
| Making your mind up It never did anyone no good |
| For how do you touch what you cant have |
| You cover the hurt |
| Pretend you dont care |
| Its living I guess but it hardly compares |
| Gimme some time |
| Lend me a hand |
| Reach into the dark and youll understand |
| Only the lonely know |
| Would you go anywhere |
| Do anything |
| Falling so low that you see |
| What the lonely know |
| Hiding your poor heart |
| You wouldnt think could be so hard |
| From the roaring giant of love |
| Oh but he wont leave |
| And so you keep silently screaming |
| Filling your head with a love song |
| That no-one will ever want |
| And yes we are keeping up resistance |
| To a good time in case we fall |
| Put up a wall you cant overcome |
| Well I believe every home should have one |
| Fortunes, persistence |
| It never did anyone no good |
| When a taste is worse than none at all |
| It opens the hurt |
| Makes you so scared |
| I see a world that is empty out there |
| Gimme some time |
| Lend me a hand |
| Reach into the dark and youll understand |
| Only the lonely know |
| Would you go anywhere |
| Do anything |
| Falling so low that you see |
| What the lonely know |
| We cover our empty hearts up With a full smile |
| But it has no joy |
| Put up a wall you cant overcome |
| To cover the hurt |
| Pretend you dont care |
| I see a world that is empty out there |
| Gimme some time |
| Lend me a hand |
| Reach into the dark and youll understand |
| Only the lonely know |
| Would you go anywhere |
| Do anything |
| Falling so low that you see |
| What the lonely know |
| Only the lonely know |
