Lonely In Love
Lyle Lovett Lyrics

I'm looking at a star
I'm lost in thought and gazing at the sky, trying to make sense of my feelings

Wondering where you are
Pondering the whereabouts of my love, feeling the distance between us

Lonely in love
Feeling isolated and sad despite being in love

Looking at the sky
Continuing to stare out into the night, searching for answers

Start to wonder my love
Beginning to question if my love is enough to sustain me

How long I'm going to burn
Wondering how long my passion for my love will last

With this same old flame
Feeling stuck in a rut, unable to move on from this same love

I miss you all the time
Constantly thinking about and longing for my love

Ain't unhappy
Not necessarily sad or miserable

But I'm lonely in love
Feeling alone and disconnected despite being in love

I know I didn't treat you right
Admitting fault and recognizing that I mistreated my love

Scared you into flight
Acknowledge that my actions caused my love to leave

Lonely in love
Feeling lonely despite still being in love

Never acted wise
Admitting to not having the best judgment or foresight when it came to love

Couldn't organize love
Unable to effectively navigate the complexities of romantic relationships

But these longings return
Finding myself missing my love consistently

When I hear your name
Feeling a wave of emotion when reminded of my love

I let you go and now
Admitting to letting go of the relationship, but still struggling to move on

I can't forget somehow
Feeling unable to completely forget about my love

I'm lonely in love
Despite everything, still feeling lonely even though I'm in love

I'm young in the daylight
Feeling youthful and free during the day

With a pocket full of money
Having abundance and financial stability

Ladies to the left
Having many options and being surrounded by women

And to the right
Having even more options and opportunities

But when night time comes
When the distractions of the day have faded away

I'm a star watcher honey
Find myself once again lost in thought and gazing at the stars

I can't get along
Feeling lonely and isolated without my love again

On light bulb light
Unable to find comfort or companionship in artificial light

So I'm looking at a star
Returning to my thoughts and staring into the sky once again

Wondering where you are
Continuing to wonder about the whereabouts of my love

Lonely in love
Despite all of the distractions and options available to me, still feeling lonely and disconnected

Looking at the sky
Continuing to search for answers and meaning

Start to wonder my love
Continuing to question my feelings and the state of my relationship

How long I'm going to play
Wondering how much longer I can continue to stay in this same cycle of loneliness and love

In this rained out game
Feeling like my efforts and attempts at love are constantly being derailed or tainted by external forces

It don't make any sense
Feeling lost and confused about the situation

But honey be convinced
Despite the confusion and uncertainty, I still hold onto the conviction that my love is real

I'm lonely in love
Despite everything, still feeling a sense of loneliness and isolation in the midst of my love
