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
