Lyrics

No other lover ever really cared
When I’ve reached out for you, you’ve always been there
Now I’m so far away and, baby, I’m scared
I never knew lonely ’til you
You are my rock and the strength I need
To keep me sane in this life that I lead
Now I’m not with you and my broken heart bleeds
I never knew lonely ’til you
I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
I never knew lonely ’til you
I can’t make up for the times I’ve been gone
But I’ll prove I love you in the words of this song
And back in your arms, girl, it’s where I belong
I never knew lonely ’til you
I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
Girl, I never knew lonely ’til you
I never knew lonely could be so blue
I never knew lonely could tear you in two
I never loved someone like I love you
Girl, I never knew lonely ’til you
