Lyrics
[Intro]
Another long and sleepless night
You need someone to hold you tight
Sometimes love don't know wrong from right
Another long and senseless
[Verse 1]
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 losin'
[PreChorus]
Games we play, words we say
Cuttin' wounds, we know they run so deep
Leave it all behind you
Or someday, love will find you
[Chorus]
Only lonely, oh
I can't stop hurtin' you
Only lonely, oh
But I can't stop loving you
Only lonely, oh
How much pain does it take?
[Verse 2]
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
'Cause when those feelings start
We let them go, let 'em go
[PreChorus]
Games we play, words we say
Cuttin' wounds that run so deep
Leave it all behind you
Or someday, love will find you
[Chorus]
Only lonely, oh
I can't stop hurtin' you
Only lonely, oh
But I can't stop loving you
Only lonely, oh
So tell me, babe, how much pain can you take
Before your heart breaks, before your heart breaks, yeah
[Bridge]
I've got this timebomb tickin' in my head
This time, I think she's gonna blow
How can I say "Get away"?
When I just can't her let go
[PreChorus]
Games we play, words we say
Cuttin' wounds that run so
Leave it all behind you
Or someday, love will find you
[Chorus]
Only lonely, oh
I can't stop hurtin' you
Only lonely, oh
But I can't stop lovin' you
[Chorus]
Only lonely, oh
I can't stop hurtin' you
Only lonely, oh
I can't stop
Only lonely, oh
Only lonely, oh
