I'm Lonely
Future Bible Heroes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm lonely and I love it
Woe is me, but I'm above it
It's the strangest thing
I'm sad and I don't care
And I'm dancing on air

I miss you and I like it
Show me a mountain and I'll hike it
It's a whole new feeling never felt before
Get me to the dance floor

I'm as lonely as an eagle
And I'm crazy as a loon
Who would ever think I could get over you so soon?
I should be singing the blues
But I just want to croon
Winter is still with us, but I'm dancing like it's June

Because I'm lonely and I love it

It's been rough, but I'll rough it
If that's how it feels to get your heart broken
Break my heart again

I'm as lonely as Narcissus gazing in his mirrored pond
Wearing all the clothes you hate
And going back to blond
Staying up all hours in my deedy demimonde
If you have something to tell me
Please don't correspond

Because I'm lonely

I'm lonely and I love it
If only I'd dreamed of it
I'd have broken up with you so long ago
You wouldn't even know

I'm as lonely as an emperor upon a golden throne
Going off my diet with a double chocolate cone
Shouting from the rooftops and through every telephone
All the time I've been with you
I wish I'd been alone

Because I'm lonely as Mount Everest
And probably as high
It's time to buy all the records
You would never let me buy
It's time to try the million things you never let me try
I can almost laugh




At all the times you made me cry
Because I'm lonely and I love it
