Let There Be Lonely
Jonathan Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The love I've been holding on to
I've tried so hard to keep saying you're mine
Now it's time, now it's time
Let there be hurting, I'm craving the tears
That have burned in my eyes for so long
I want to feel every drop of the pain
I'm gonna suffer the aching I've earned
Mark this one down as a lesson I've learned
'Cause the only way out of here
It's the only way out of here
Let there be daggers that tear through my skin
Down to my heart where the whole thing begins
Make me a new one and I'll love again
Until then, until then
Let there be lonely
'Cause the only way out of here
Oh the only way out of here
Let there to be lonely, I'm ready to grieve
The love I've been holding on to
I tried so hard to keep saying you're mine
Now it's time, now it's time

I remember a scene with Jonathan Jackson as a child in "General Hospital" after his friend died , he kept saying, "I was just staring at her hand, and I finally realised she wasn't in there anymore." Great actor, hope he's still doing well.

Certainly he is not my favorite character, but he is in the top three. I really love his voice. And unlike many I preferred him with Scarlett that Gunner. Everyone has their own tastes.
