Only Lonely

(album: 7800 Degrees Fahrenheit - 1985)

Another long and sleepless night
You need someone to hold you tight
Sometimes love don't know wrong from right
Another long and senseless
Fight was all you knew they're all the same
There's no one left to take the blame
What's behind this masquerade
How do we win these losing
Games we play, words we say
Cutting wounds we know they run so deep
Leave it all behind you
Or someday love will find you

[Chorus:]
Only lonely I can't stop hurting you
Only lonely but I can't stop loving you
Only lonely how much pain does it take

It's getting sometimes I don't know
When to stop when to go
Sometimes we're so afraid to let it show
A stolen kiss so out of place
It wipes the smile right off your face
And when those feelings start
We let them go, let them go

Games we play, words we say
Cutting wounds that run so deep
Leave it all behind you
Or someday love will find you

Only lonely I can't stop hurting you
Only lonely but I can't stop loving you
Only lonely so tell me babe, how much pain
can you take before your heart breaks?

I got this timebomb ticking in my head
This time I think she's gonna blow
How can I say get away
When I just can't let go

Games we play, words we say
Cutting wounds that run so...
Leave it all behind you
Or someday love will find you

[Chorus]
