We run in circles That never connect at the same time Heaven help the lonely ones As another day older we get, and here we go Spending our money Filling the house with things we hope Will bring us happiness again And then we cover empty hearts up With a full smile that has no joy Lying for love, were dying for more Well you can have anything these days Im sure
 
Making your mind up It never did anyone no good For how do you touch what you cant have You cover the hurt Pretend you dont care Its living I guess but it hardly compares
 
Gimme some time Lend me a hand Reach into the dark and youll understand Only the lonely know Would you go anywhere Do anything Falling so low that you see What the lonely know
 
Hiding your poor heart You wouldnt think could be so hard From the roaring giant of love Oh but he wont leave And so you keep silently screaming Filling your head with a love song That no-one will ever want And yes we are keeping up resistance To a good time in case we fall Put up a wall you cant overcome Well I believe every home should have one
 
Fortunes, persistence It never did anyone no good When a taste is worse than none at all It opens the hurt Makes you so scared I see a world that is empty out there
 
Gimme some time Lend me a hand Reach into the dark and youll understand Only the lonely know Would you go anywhere Do anything Falling so low that you see What the lonely know
 
We cover our empty hearts up With a full smile But it has no joy Put up a wall you cant overcome To cover the hurt Pretend you dont care I see a world that is empty out there
 
Gimme some time Lend me a hand Reach into the dark and youll understand Only the lonely know Would you go anywhere Do anything Falling so low that you see What the lonely know Only the lonely know
