Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've been thinking it's over
What's the chip on your shoulder?
Outside we saw a rainbow
Inside is where the heart grows
[Verse 2]
Picking up the pieces
Something more to believe in
As you search the embers
Think what you've had, remember
[Chorus]
Hang on, no don't let go now
You know, with every heartbeat
We learn, nothing comes easy
Hang on, ask the lonely
[Verse 3]
You've got some fascination
With you high expectations
This love is your obsession
Your heart, your prized possession
[Verse 4]
Let down your defenses
Open up to the one who cares
As you search the embers
Think what you've had, remember
[Chorus]
Hang on, no don't let go now
You know, with every heartbeat
We learn, nothing comes easy
Hang on, ask the lonely
[Bridge]
When you're feeling love's unfair
You just ask the lonely
When you're lost in deep despair
You just ask the lonely
[Refrain]
When you're feeling love's unfair
You just ask the lonely
When you're lost in deep despair
You just ask the lonely
[Refrain]
When you're feeling love's unfair
You just ask the lonely
When you're lost in deep despair
You just ask the lonely
[Outro]
Ask the lonely
When you're down in deep despair
When you're down in deep despair
Ask the lonely
Lonely
Lonely
