I was hanging with a girl I know
She was telling me a week ago
That I'm the only one she's ever really loved


I was talking with a friend of hers
Telling her I know that what her friend deserves is

More than I can give, it's more than I can give

You know that I would give it all away

If I knew I could get it back
No need to question all the things I say
It's hard to take but it's a fact


I'm the lonely one
I'm the lonely one

I'm the lonely one
I'm the lonely one
I'm the lonely one


People say it's sad to think about
Someone giving more than they're getting

But my taking made me figure out
That I'm the lonely one


I'm the one who's always walking out
Your love has put me on the run
You know exactly what I'm talking 'bout

You know that love is never done

I'm the lonely one

I'm the lonely one
I'm the lonely one
I'm the lonely one

I'm the lonely one

Passing time all the lonely nights

When I think of you
You can make all the right moves
And sometimes still lose


You know that I would give it all away
If I knew that I could get it back

No need to question all the things I say
It's hard to take but it's a fact


I'm the lonely one
I'm the lonely one
I'm the lonely one

I'm the lonely one
I'm the lonely one
