You told me I'd regret it on the day I left you
I had the nerve to laugh as I walked away
It's been 6 months and 18 days
I'm feeling nothing but this empty pain
And I just had to tell you even if
There's nothing left to say.

I felt the burnin' on the hurtin' side
other love that didn't work out right
empty longin' of a long, cold night
I have been lonely.

I leaned on no one when the times got tough
When it comes to heartache Lord I've had enough
Know what its like to live without your love
I have been lonely.

I was gonna show you that I didn't need you
Now I need to show you I was wrong
Here I am knees to the floor, I don't wanna hurt like this no more
I'm heart deep in misery
An' all my pride is gone

I felt the burnin' on the hurtin' side
other love that didn't work out right
empty longin of a long, cold night
I have been lonely.

I leaned on no one when the times got tough
When it comes to heartache Lord I've had enough
Know what its like to live without your love
I have been lonely.

Ooooh .. Oooh....I have been lonely...Oohhh.... Oooh....
I have been lonely.
