Verse The only thing certain is we end up alone To pick up the pieces of our once-happy home She took all my records, the hits, the unknowns She took all the Beatles She took all the Eagles She took all the Stones Lonely ain't easy Lonely ain't kind Lonely won't leave me She's a good friend of mine Verse Nine years of my life that I'll never get back Aint it funny how the good times Never outweigh the bad? That diamond couldn't cut through all the problems we had I was always gone She was all alone What chance did we have? Lonely ain't easy Lonely ain't kind Lonely won't leave me She's a good friend of mine Verse Now I follow the rules, and I play my part All I got left is this Tin-Man heart No matter how hard I try, it wont seem to start She said, I'll always love you,?� She said, I'll never leave you ??Til death do us part. Lonely aint easy Lonely ain't kind Lonely won't leave me Cause she's a good friend of mine Outro Shes there every morning She's in bed when I get home Sometimes I wish lonely would leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone
