Lonely"

[talking:]
Man...
Stripped out...
I Can't keep going like this...
Gonna find me somebody..
Is there anyone out there for me?
Somewhere...

[Verse 1:]
I'm sick and tired seeing couples play
Holding hands in the sun all the day
I love the way that it calls her name
I feel the love that's flowing through their veins
Never thought I miss love this way
Until I woke up with a broken heart today
Singing "Can I get your love back again??"
I'm going crazy being your friend

[Chorus: x2]
(Girl I'm lonely) I don't wanna be alone no more
(Girl I'm lonely) I need someone to call my own
(I'm so lonely) Is there someone who cares about me?
(I'm so lonely) Someone fulfill my needs

[Verse 2:]
I had a good dream that you came back to me
I didn't wanna wait to face reality
But I woke up early longing for you
I hold my pillow tight thinking that it's you
The pain inside it hurts so bad
I just laid back as time goes past
Singing "Can I get your love back again??"
I'm going crazy being your friend

[Chorus: x2]
(Girl I'm lonely) I don't wanna be alone no more
(Girl I'm lonely) I need someone to call my own
(I'm so lonely) Is there someone who cares about me?
(I'm so lonely) Someone fulfill my needs

[Bridge:]
I don't wanna be lonely
And I need someone for me
Show I don't wanna be lonely
I just need someone for me.....





[Chorus: Till Fade]
