J. Bon Jovi, D. Bryan



Another long and sleepless night

You need someone to hold you tight

Sometimes love don't know wrong from right

Another long and senseless

Fight was all you knew they're all the same

There's no one left to take the blame

What's behind this masquerade

How do we win these losin'

Games we play, words we say

Cutting wounds we know they run so deep

Leave it all behind you

Or someday love will find you



Chorus:

Only lonely -- I can't stop hurting you

Only lonely -- but I can't stop loving you

Only lonely -- how much pain does it take



It's getting sometimes I don't know

When to stop when to go

Sometimes we're so afraid to let it show

A stolen kiss so out of place

It wipes the smile right off your face

And when those feelings start

We let them go, let them go



Games we play, words we say

Cutting wounds that run so deep

Leave it all behind you

Or someday love will find you



Only lonely -- I can't stop hurting you

Only lonely -- but I can't stop loving you

Only lonely -- so tell me babe, how much pain

can you take before your heart breaks?



I got this timebomb ticking in my head

This time I think she's gonna blow

How can I say get away

When I just can't let go



Games we play, words we say

Cutting wounds that run so...

Leave it all behind you

Or someday love will find you



Chorus
