She once hoped to love again
Hard to cope, she remembers way back when
A time in her life a man left her lonely
She stops to wonder what it's all about
She needs a lover but still has her doubts
She's on the inside lookin' out
She's one of the lonely ones, broken heart but she don't let on
She's still lookin' down, don't want to fall
One of the lonely ones wastin' tears as the years roll on
The time passes slow when you're lonely
She stares where she saw him last
Sees his face in a photograph
It's all in her past, can't let it go
It starts her thinkin' how it might've been
They never thought it could ever end
She's on the inside lookin' out
She's one of the lonely ones, broken heart but she don't let on
She's still lookin' down, don't want to fall
One of the lonely ones wastin' tears as the years roll on
The time passes slow when you're lonely
And when she tries to sleep at night
She reminisces when he held her tight
He's no longer there, he's nowhere in sight
There's certain words she should've said
Now she's dreamin' alone in bed
She's on the inside lookin' out
She stops to wonder what it's all about
She needs a lover but still has her doubts
She's on the inside, inside lookin' out
She's one of the lonely ones, broken heart but she don't let on
She's still lookin' down, don't want to fall
One of the lonely ones wastin' tears as the years roll on
The time passes slow when you're lonely
