Chorus
I know there's someone there beside you
I can tell
When my teardrops start to fall
There ain't no use in your denying
I can read
The writing on the wall
My heart has got that lonesome feeling
And everyday I walk the floor
You're out there having fun
And I'm the lonely one
Cause you don't care anymore
Repeat chorus
We used to spend every night together
But now I spend them all alone
These walls are closing in
My heartache never ends
Cause you're not here where you belong
Repeat chorus
