[Verse 1]
Angry faces turn away
Some friends go but so few stay
Reminding you that it's only time
Before you lose them all but one
[Chorus]
That was me before you ran
That was me before you sang
For loneliness
[Guitar Break]
[Verse 2]
Little did you know it then
How hard it was to find a friend
To lean upon when you find you’re brave
To the pain that springs from your heart today
[Chorus]
For the time when your eyes were young
And you needed somewhere to belong...
Loneliness
[Verse 3]
The waters of time will wash away
Most of the tears that you cry today
But keep one to love for sorrow
So you can feel its woe tomorrow
[Chorus]
So when you find the night is cold
And the time from love makes you feel so old...
For loneliness
[Outro]
Then you'll cry for loneliness
For loneliness...
