Lonely Songtext
von Illy

I could say its′s all for you
A hundred million times
I could sing the song for you
But I can't rewind
It′s gonna be a long, long, long, long time
Long, long, long, long
Long, long, long, long time
Long, long, long, long

Last year's lessons were the harshest
For really real grasped everyone I love gon' pass
That hit me as hard as flowers on the casket
Took a whole lotta love just to light that darkness

Wish you could tell me what comes after
But I already know the answer ′fore I ask it
That all we can know is when it′s done
The ones who love us gon' miss us
So I try and make the most of the time God give


And though I miss my family, and miss my friends
Though I cried ′til the air was all out my lungs
It made me hold loved ones tighter, and this for them
Long as we're breathing I promise they live through us, I swear

I could say it′s all for you
A hundred million times
I could sing the song for you
But I can't rewind
It′s gonna be a long, long, long, long time
Long, long, long, long
(Don't you leave me lonely)
Long, long, long, long time
Long, long, long, long

Yeah, I'm learning nothing here lasts, yeah, the money least of all
What′s the point? Can′t take it when you're gone
All that matters is the heart, that′s my family, my spirit and my soul
All the rest mean nothing, they what make my parts whole

Yeah, can barely think it but the cold truth is that
I break, picturing my world without you in it
Can't say it to your face, so I put it on a page
And I put it in each hug, tell the sad songs wait


′Cause our time together's short
Even when our time together′s hard
I remember for as long here as we got
It's gonna be a lot longer apart, from my heart, you're my heart, like

I could say it′s all for you
A hundred million times
I could sing the song for you
But I can′t rewind
It's gonna be a long, long, long, long time
Long, long, long, long
(Don′t you leave me lonely)
Long, long, long, long time
Long, long, long, long

Yeah, and I remember fear nearly drove myself mad
Bedside in a hospital with my Mum
Talking life and death with my Dad
Choke up even thinking that day gon' come

And growing up my Gran hated all my bars
By Two Degrees, she were my biggest fan
I was hers, I swear on the night she passed
Felt her with me on stage, like go on young man, yes Gran

And I′m thankful to love that
Our last words were three little ones and
Last year was a really tough one, man
Watched Mum say goodbye to her Mum, man

So I'll say it while we here
Love you more than life itself
And I won′t you leave you lonely (no)
So don't you leave me lonely, yeah, yeah, yeah

I could say it's all for you
A hundred million times
I could sing the song for you
But I can′t rewind
It′s gonna be a long, long, long, long time
Long, long, long, long
(Don't you leave me lonely)
Long, long, long, long time
Long, long, long, long

It′s gonna be a long, long, long, long time
Long, long, long, long
(Don't you leave me lonely)
Long, long, long, long time
Long, long, long, long
