In a Lonely Place
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 heard it said somewhere that one day
All good things come to an end
I turn around to see you
If I do or not, it all depends
I was born the day I met you
Lived a while when you loved me
Died a little when we broke apart
Yesterday, it would have mattered
Now today, it doesn't mean a thing
All my hopes and dreams
Are shattered now
I'm in a lonely place without you
I'm in a lonely place without you
I walk the streets alone at night
Sometimes and think about you
I look at strangers pass and wonder
How I'll live without your love
I was born the day I met you
Lived a while when you loved me
Died a little when we broke apart
Suddenly, this world's no longer bright
I'm alone and lonely every night
Won't you bring back your love
That's out of sight?
I'm in a lonely place without you
I'm in a lonely place without you
I was born the day I met you
Lived a while when you loved me
Died a little when we broke apart
Yesterday, it would have mattered
Now today, it doesn't mean a thing
All my hopes and dreams
Have shattered now
I'm in a lonely place without you
I'm in a lonely place without you
I'm in a lonely place without you, oh no
I'm in a lonely place without you
