lyrics

Lonely Like That
©2008, Craig Evans, BMI. All Rights Reserved
--------------------------------------
His friends told him try to enjoy the time off
Do the things you never could do
Don't crawl into the arms of the first one
Who comes chasing after you
And he knew they were right, he needed time to think
Time just to be on his own
But you might as well deny a dying man drink
As to tell him to be alone

Not when you're lonely like that
Not when you're lonely like that
It's not what you want
But you're not letting go
Not when you're lonely like that

Maybe he'll find him a girl with a heart
Who's not just along for the ride
But I doubt it would matter, at least not to him
He couldn't back out if he tried
So don't look for reasons, they won't change a thing
You can't talk him out of his pain
The corner he's in's painted black as a cloud
And he'll just do it over and over again...

Not when you're lonely like that
Not when you're lonely like that
He would if he could
but it's really no good
Not when you're lonely like that

There was a time in his life
When he got things done
when his passion would carry him through
But he taught himself somewhere to wait for the girl
And now he believes for all of the world
That without her there's nothing he can do

So please try to help him and don't be too hard
He might come around in the end
Just try to be patient, he would if he could
But he doesn't know where to begin...

Not when you're lonely like that
Not when you're lonely like that
It's hard to believe
but you're not gonna leave
Not when you're lonely like that
