Lyrics:

Hello again

Your words they make me smile

As I drift away

In my little room upstairs

Oh I spend my nights

Imagining your face, your touch

Then I realize

How I don't even know your name



If we could share our time

Would I disappoint your fantasies?

But I believe that I could be the one you're needing

cause I'm only lonely on the inside

Didn't mean to take away your dreams

I'm only lonely on the inside

When you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts



And I could start to give apologies

For all the stupid things that I will say and I Will do

If we should ever cross the same place at the same time

Would your world skip a beat cause it was me?



If we could share our life

Would I disappoint your memories?

And I believe that you could be the one I'm needing

And I'm only lonely on the inside

Didn't mean to take away your dreams

I'm only lonely on the inside

When you close your eyes to your deepest thoughts



If I could give back your hopes, your joys, your treasures

Don't you think that I would change my world?

But there's so many things trying to pull us together

And even though we're far apart I can still watch

You walk away



(somewhere side by side)

I'm only lonely on the inside

Only lonely on the inside

When you close your eyes, what do you see?



Only lonely on the inside

Didn't mean to take away your dreams

I'm only lonely on the inside

In your deepest thoughts, what do you see?



Only lonely on the inside

I didn't mean, I didn't mean, to steal your dreams away

I'm only lonely on the inside

When you close your eyes, in your deepest thoughts,

Do you see me?



Only lonely on the inside, I'm only lonely when

You're gone

Only lonely on the inside, I see you babe, I see you

Only lonely on the inside, only lonely, only lonely

On the inside

I'm only lonely on the inside
