The Lonely Man

The Lonely Man


Happy times, sad times, more of the latter
Life goes on, come on, what's the matter
No one to love?
No one to hold in your arms?
There's gotta be someone for him in this world.
Secluded living, like oyster and pearl
He wants you, he needs you.
He's trying to show it, but you don't notice

There's no use trying to lie
Because anything that he tries
Gets thrown down the drain.
All that is done is done in vain,
His life begins and ends in pain
Because nowhere on Earth is there anything to gain

There he is, he's lying to those that he loves
It's killing him, filling him with emotion enough
The end is near, that he fears, dreading what lies ahead
Running away from problems that can't be solved
Many times in his life he is thrown at the wall
These thoughts are confusing him; messing with his head
The wall is now blood-red.
He wants to be dead.

There's no use trying to lie
Because anything that he tries
Gets thrown down the drain.
All that is done is done in vain,
His life begins and ends in pain
Because nowhere on Earth is there anything to gain

Shamefulness, faithlessness, loneliness
Hatefulness, friendshipless, no happiness
He has to live and carry on, as hard as it is
Lying to everyone, it can't be stopped.
Emotions inside of him, ready to pop
Breaking his heart, tearing him apart
Boom it bursts, Pandora's box,
It cannot be stopped...

There's no use trying to lie
Because anything that he tries
Gets thrown down the drain.
All that is done is done in vain,
His life begins and ends in pain
Because nowhere on Earth is there anything to gain

Did any of it mean anything to you?
He thought that maybe it could turn into
More than friends, his girlfriend, it should have been you
You lie, cheat, steal; he cannot see
Inside his mind, he thinks "It's over for me."
Death visited the poor, hurt man in a rainy midnight street.
This sad, grey, dreary story is finally complete
Now he's lying somewhere, buried under six feet


There's no use trying to lie
Because anything that he tries
Gets thrown down the drain.
All that is done is done in vain,
His life begins and ends in pain
Because nowhere on Earth is there anything to gain
