You told me I'd regret it On the day I left you I had the nerve to laugh as I walked away It's been six months and eighteen days I'm feeling nothing 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 gonna 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 heartache and misery And 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
