Who knows when love arrives just how long it will last
Or how big the hole it leaves when it burns out too fast
Now my tears are like angels slowly releasing the pain
Of a hurt that's so deep, no one will give it a name
I know lonely, I know alone
I know sadness, I call it my home
I used to know sweet love, now I only know gone
I know lonely, lonely, lonely
One day I woke to find Death standing at my door
I invited him on in but he looked so unsure
He said, "So this is the sadness in the wake of goodbye"
Poor Death couldn't stand it; he broke down and cried
I know lonely, I know alone
I know sadness, I call it my home
I used to know sweet love, now I only know gone
I know lonely, lonely, lonely
I know lonely, lonely, lonely
