Only a lonely heart knows

Life holds no fascination
Without you here with me
Each hour’s eternity
And friends are small consolation
Talk doesn’t ease the pain
The hurt can’t be explained

Only a lonely heart knows
How the memory cuts like a knife
Since you walked out of my life
I’m half crazy day and night

And only a lonely heart knows
How the heartache it grows and grows
Oh how long does it take til the heartache goes
Only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows

Time is a friend and an enemy
In time the hurt might end
Til then the walls close in
I’m so lost I’m numbed by your leaving me
I sit alone and stare
You don’t know til you’ve been there

And only a lonely heart knows
How the memory cuts like a knife
Since you walked out of my life
I’m half crazy day and night

And only a lonely heart knows
How the heartache it grows and grows
Oh how long does it take til the heartache goes
Only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows

Tell me how long does it take til the heartache goes
Only a lonely, only a lonely
Yes only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows
