Hello

hello, hello, hello
hello darkness
hello pain

welcome back my friends
so good to see you again

why did you leave me
all by myself?
without you what would I do?
how would it feel to have to be real?

sometimes I feel like I'm living in a coma
but then I realize
I'm just lonely
I'm just lonely
I'm just lonely

hello, hello
hello darkness
pain, memories, shame
all the time wasted
self pity and blame
there you'll go now you know
been so long down below yeah

and sometimes I'd like to start all over
but then I realize
I'm just lonely
I'm just lonely
I'm just lonely hello, hello
hello memories return
bridges I've burned
the lessons I've taught weren't the lessons I learned
and somehow I got this far
but I don't, I don't, I don't know how man

and sometimes I don't even want to be alive
but then I realize
I'm just lonely
I'm just lonely
I'm just lonely
