Lonliness Is Worse

(album: Eight Arms To Hold You - 1997)

When you've had enough,
and you've got it bad enough
and you can't let go.
When it comes to blows,
and you start to overflow,
and you can't get home.
It's a subtle kind of cruel,
it taps my spine.
Here I'm drawing a line,
I'm asking please.
Don't you wanna
be happy with me? [x2]
I'm afraid if you
don't come around soon,
I'll turn sadder
than you ever were,
and you'll learn
lonliness is worse
you've gotta try.
December's all alone,
and he's calling
me on the phone
but he sounds so cold.
He says he loves me so,
but how would I ever know?
Certain words grow old.
It's a vicious kind of catch,
it sides me blind.
Now I'm out of my mind,
I wanna scream.
Don't you wanna
be happy with me? [x2]
I'm afraid if you
don't come around soon,
I'll turn sadder
than you ever were,
and you'll learn
lonliness is worse
you've gotta try.
Love liked me long ago,
it had a way of making
everyone the same.
But how the angels
must laugh and sigh
to hear me pleading with you,
and needing you this way.
Oh why don't you
wanna be happy with me? [x2]
I'm afraid if you
don't come around soon,
I'll turn sadder
than you ever were,
and you'll learn
lonliness is worse
you've gotta try to
stay mine all the way
Don't you wanna
be happy with me? [x2]
I'm afraid if you don't
come around soon,
I'll turn sadder than
you ever were.
