Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's not your eyes
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter
That gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely too long
[Verse 2]
All your acting
Your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lines
They don't fool me
You've been lonely too long
[Verse 3]
Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand and dance round
And round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
[Verse 4]
You've held your head up
You've fought the fight
You bear the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me
You've been lonely too long
[Verse 5]
Let me in the walls
You've built around
We can light a match
And burn them down
Let me hold your hand and dance 'round
And 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust
[Verse 6]
You're like a mirror
Reflectin' me
Takes one to know one
So take it from me
You've been lonely
You've been lonely too long
We've been lonely
We've been lonely too long
