Song lyrics

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


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 time bomb 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


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?
