I Have Been Lonely

You told me I’d regret it on the day I left you
I had the nerve to laugh as I walked away
Well, it’s been six months and eighteen days
Feeling nothing but this empty pain
And I just had to tell you
Even if there’s nothing left to say

I felt the burning on the hurting side
Of a love that didn’t work out right
The empty longing on a long cold night
I have been lonely

I’ve leaned on no-one when the times got tough
When it comes to heartaches, lord I’ve had enough
Know what it’s like to live without your love
I have been lonely

I was gonna show you that I didn’t need you
Now I need to show you I was wrong
Here I am, knees to the floor
I don’t wanna hurt like this no more
I’m heartbeat in misery and all my pride has gone

I felt the burning on the hurting side
Of a love that didn’t work out right
The empty longing of a long cold night
I have been lonely

I’ve leaned on no-one when the times got tough
When it comes to heartaches, lord I’ve had enough
Know what it’s like to live without your love
I have been lonely, ooh, ooh

I have been lonely, ooh, ooh
I have been lonely, ooh, ooh
