Lonely

(Album: Dirtie Blonde - 2006)

No one will stand by you
When you ask too much, too soon
No one's willing to provide you
When you're eager to consume
But you'll grow up, it's not that bad
You think of feelings you once had
And although the memories fade
Certain things remain
And it's you that keeps me lonely
And it's you that brings me home
It's you that left me out here on my own
On my own
And I was just a child
I invested all I had
In a love that felt like fire, oh
With a boy and not a man
I swore I'd never love again
That my heart would never mend
[Chorus]
And you know I got a lot
I'm a friend and I'm a lover
And I've moved on from what we had
And it's safe to say that I wish you well
'Cause I don't hold the grudge no more
[Chorus]
Yes, it's you that makes me careful
'Cause it's you that breaks my heart
It's you that made me tough and twice as smart
And you know I got a lot
I'm a friend and I'm a lover
And I've moved on from what we had
And it's safe to say that I wish you well
'Cause I don't hold the grudge no more
