Lyrics
I've Always Been Lonely
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't have to know your name
Unless you really want me too
All i really want to know
Is what you want to do
Hope there's something you like
In something that you see
I don't have that much to say for me
I've always been lonely
But don't be afraid
I've always been lonely
Like a song never played
I've always been lonely
But if you come with me tonight
And stayed
At least we'd know
It wasn't loneliness we made
You don't have to know my past
It's much too much for me and you
If the sadness has to show
I guess i'll let it through
We can go till it's gone
And give it all we've got
Sometimes anything can mean a lot
