Only the Lonely - T'Pau

We run in circles

That never connect at the same time

Heaven help the lonely ones

As another day older we get, and here we go

Spending our money

Filling the house with things we hope

Will bring us happiness again

And then we cover empty hearts up

With a full smile that has no joy

Lying for love, were dying for more

Well you can have anything these days Im sure

Making your mind up

It never did anyone no good

For how do you touch what you can’t have

You cover the hurt

Pretend you dont care

Its living I guess but it hardly compares

Gimme some time

Lend me a hand

Reach into the dark and youll understand

Only the lonely know

Would you go anywhere

Do anything

Falling so low that you see

What the lonely know

Hiding your poor heart

You wouldn’t think could be so hard

From the roaring giant of love

Oh but he won’t leave

And so you keep silently screaming

Filling your head with a love song

That no-one will ever want

And yes we are keeping up resistance

To a good time in case we fall

Put up a wall you can’t overcome

Well I believe every home should have one

Fortunes, persistence

It never did anyone no good

When a taste is worse than none at all

It opens the hurt

Makes you so scared

I see a world that is empty out there

Gimme some time

Lend me a hand

Reach into the dark and youll understand

Only the lonely know

Would you go anywhere

Do anything

Falling so low that you see

What the lonely know

We cover our empty hearts up

With a full smile

But it has no joy

Put up a wall you can’t overcome

To cover the hurt

Pretend you dont care

I see a world that is empty out there

Gimme some time

Lend me a hand

Reach into the dark and youll understand

Only the lonely know

Would you go anywhere

Do anything

Falling so low that you see

What the lonely know

Only the lonely know
