Lonely on My Own (feat. Sarah Jones & Darren Street)

Finally it's quiet again now everyone's gone home

The loneliness is aching like a cancer in my bones

My craving for some company, for someone to have near

Is no less powerful now than when the others still were here

I've had a husband who could never touch that place inside

I've had a child, I love like life, but I'm still dissatisfied

Family and friends, I have, can't see to fill that void

If I could find a real heart-friend, I'd be so overjoyed

Lonely on my own, lonely with a friend

Lonely in a crowd, though I might pretend

There's a place in me, lonely as can be

There's an aching hole in my heart

Can it be it's only me who hides this secret shame

Who laughs and smiles and wears a mask and plays this shallow game?

Is there any man who can explain this emptiness?

Is there any God who hears? That's, "No" again, I guess

Could it be I've found a place in this shattered family

Somewhere I can make a difference, someone who needs me?

I will guide you when the burdens start to take their toll

I will be your guardian angel. That will be my role

Lonely on her own, lonely with a friend

Lonely in a crowd, though she might pretend

There's a place in me, that might be the key

To fill the aching hole in her heart

Lonely on my own

Lonely on my own

Lonely with a friend

Lonely with a friend

Lonely in a crowd

Though I might pretend

There's a place in me

There's a place in me

Lonely as can be

That might be the key

There's an (to fill the) aching hole in my (her) heart

Tired of being strong for Abi, for Abi

Tired of being strong for Mandy, for Mandy

Tired of being strong for Abi, for Abi, for Abi
