Lonely

Why do I seem to be
caught up inside a dream
All my life
it's always been my shadow and me

Over my shoulder
there's always a voice somewhere
Saying I never should try
to set my heart free

I wish that love would come
and take me in her arms
Show me what I've never known

Where I could hold someone 
and words like right and wrong
Just fade away like yesterday

Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone

Why, tell me why,
won't even let me fall in love

Everywhere I go
always by my side
Won't even let me fall in love

I try and say I love you
but the words won't come through
In my eyes
see all the tears and sad memories

Why can't I start out new and leave that old feeling
too far behind
I guess that lonely needs company

Around each bend of road
I'm thinking that in time
there will be that rainbow's end
But when I follow those self illusions
I find that it's only lonely and me again

Lonely won't leave me alone
Lonely won't leave me alone

Why, tell me why
won't even let me fall in love
everywhere I go always by my side
Won't even let me fall in love

Lonely won't leave me alone
I wish that love would come
Lonely won't leave me alone
And take me home
Lonely...
