Tonight I'll Be Lonely Too
Alison Krauss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like I always figured
You'd be gone from me so soon
A heartache would be the outcome
And I'd be singing this lonely tune
Your friends all tell me your happy now
And how good she's treating you
It looks to be the perfect love
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too
You're only trying to show me
It's no use, the pain's in your eyes
I know you've been so unhappy
Talk of new love, the words are all lies
So you'll go on pretending like always
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too
You're only trying to show me
It's no use, the pain's in your eyes
I know you've been so unhappy
Talk of new love, the words are all lies
So you'll go on pretending like always
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too
Tonight I'll Be Lonely Too by Alison Krauss is a beautifully melancholic song, with lyrics that speak of longing and sorrow. The singer laments that she knew all along that her lover would leave her, resulting in heartache that she could not avoid. She acknowledges that her lover is supposedly happy with someone else, but she believes it to be an illusion, knowing deep down that he is still unhappy. The line “Talk of new love, the words are all lies” captures her sense of betrayal and the subsequent pain that she feels.
The singer, however, is not ready to give up and refuses to believe that her love is over. She sees through her lover's façade and acknowledges the pain in his eyes, realizing that he is unhappy despite what others say. She understands that he is only trying to hide his true feelings and carry on with his life. The song's repetition of the line “Well tonight, I'll be lonely too” highlights the singer's sense of loneliness, yet she finds solace in the fact that she is not alone in her sadness.
In conclusion, Tonight I'll Be Lonely Too is a poignant and relatable song about the pain of heartbreak and the longing for a lost love. Alison Krauss's delicate and emotional performance perfectly captures the song's message of sadness and hope.

It's like I always figured
I knew deep down that you wouldn't stay with me for long
You'd be gone from me so soon
It didn't take long for you to leave me
A heartache would be the outcome
I knew my heart would break when you left
And I'd be singing this lonely tune
I knew I'd be alone and sad, and this song reflects that
Your friends all tell me your happy now
Your friends are telling me you've moved on and found happiness
And how good she's treating you
They say that your new partner is treating you well
It looks to be the perfect love
From the outside, your new love seems perfect
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too
Despite all that, I'll still be lonely tonight
You're only trying to show me
You're making an effort to show me that you're happy
It's no use, the pain's in your eyes
But I can see that you're still hurting
I know you've been so unhappy
I know that you were unhappy in our relationship
Talk of new love, the words are all lies
Your talk of new love is just a lie to cover up your pain
So you'll go on pretending like always
You'll keep pretending everything is okay, like you always do
Well tonight, I'll be lonely too
Despite all your pretending, I'll still be lonely tonight
