lonely won't leave me alone

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 ever 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

oh, 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
when 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 back in time
there will be that rainbow's end

but when I follow love
self delusions 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?
lonely just keeps my heart out of touch

oh, everywhere I go
always by my side
won't even let me fall in love
