The only thing certain is we end up alone
To pick up the pieces of our once-happy home
She took all my records, the hits, the unknowns
She took all the Beatles
She took all the Eagles
She took all the Stones
And lonely ain't easy
And lonely ain't kind
And lonely won't leave me
She's a good friend of mine
Nine years of my life I'll never get back
Ain't it funny how the good times never outweigh the bad?
And that diamond couldn't cut through all the problems we had
I was always gone
She was all alone
What chance did we have?
Lonely ain't easy
Lonely ain't kind
Lonely won't leave me
She's a good friend of mine
♪
See I follow the rules, and I play the part
And all I've got left is this Tin-Man heart
No matter how hard I try, it won't seem to start
She said, "I'll always love you"
She said, "I'll never leave you 'til death do us part"
And lonely ain't easy
And lonely ain't kind
And lonely won't leave me
'Cause she's a good friend of mine
She's here every morning
She's in bed when I get home
Sometimes I wish lonely would just leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
