Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There is a very quiet boy
They call The Lonely One
There is sorrow in his face
And sadness in his eyes
And if you look into the heart
Within The Lonely One
You'll find it's been deceived
By broken vows and lies
[Verse 2]
Is it good to have pride
With the longing to hide
All your heartaches and fears?
Is it wise to be cold
And to struggle to hold back the tears?
[Verse 3]
If you could only see the boy
They call, The Lonely One
You'd know that since you're gone
The Lonely One is me
[Verse 4]
Is it good to have pride
With the longing to hide
All your heartaches and fears?
Is it wise to be cold
And to struggle to hold back the tears?
[Verse 5]
If you could only see the boy
They call, The Lonely One
You'd know that since you're gone
The Lonely One is me
[Verse 6]
You'd know that since you're gone
The Lonely One is me
