You told me I'd regret it on the day I left you
I had the nerve to laugh as I walked away
Well, it’s been six months and eighteen days
Feeling nothin’ but this empty pain

And I just had to tell you
Even if there's nothing
Left to say

I felt the burning on the hurtin’ side
Of a love that didn't work out right
The empty longing of a long cold night
I have been lonely

I've leaned on no one when the times got tough
When it comes to heartaches, Lord, I've had enough
Know what it's like to live without your love
I have been lonely

I was going to show you that I didn't need you
Now I need to show you I was wrong
Here I am knees to the floor, I don't want to hurt like this no more
I'm heartbeat in misery, now all my pride is gone

I felt the burning on the hurtin’ side
Of a love that didn't work out right
The empty longing of a long cold night
I have been lonely

I've leaned on no one when the times got tough
When it comes to heartaches, Lord, I've had enough
Know what it's like to live without your love
I have been lonely

I have been lonely
I have been lonely
