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

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 back 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

lonely just keeps my heart out of touch

oh everywhere i go

always by my side

won't even let me fall in love

i wish that love would come

and take me home

lonely won't let me fall in love

i wish that love would come

and take me home

lonely won't let me fall in love

i wish that only

love would come

lonely won't let me fall in love
