Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely Lyrics

Show me the meaning of being lonely... So many words for the broken heart It'is hard to see in a crimson love So hard to breathe Walk with me, and maybe Nights of light so soon become Wild and free, I could feel the sun Your every wish Will be done, they tell me Show me the meaning of being lonely Is this the feeling I need to walk with? Tell me why I can't be there where you are There's something missing in my heart Life goes on as it never ends Eyes of stone observe the trends They never say Forever gaze, if only Guilty roads to an endless love (endless love) There's no control, are you with me now? Your every wish Will be done, they tell me Show me the meaning of being lonely Is this the feeling I need to walk with? (tell me why) Tell me why I can't be there where you are There's something missing in my heart There's nowhere to run, I have no place to go Surrender my heart, body, and soul How can it be you're asking me to feel The things you never show? You are missing in my heart Tell me why can't I be there where you are? Show me the meaning of being lonely (of being lonely) Is this the feeling I need to walk with? (tell me why) Tell me why I can't be there where you are (where you are) There's something missing in my heart Show me the meaning of being lonely (of being lonely) Is this the feeling I need to walk with? (tell me why) Tell me why I can't be there where you are (where you are) There's something missing in my heart
