Lonely Then

(One, two, three)

She don't ever look me in the eye when I tell her that I love her
Like a fool, I play it cool in the shade she keeps throwing me under
'Cause I thought love was supposed to feel like a fairy tale
But some days I wonder if I was better off myself

I was lonely then, you should see me now
Found me someone but I still feel alone somehow
Dying to leave and my heart bleeds for you to come around
I was lonely then, you should see me now

We weren't fooling anybody, baby, didn't make it through our first snow
Idle hearts, well, they don't keep warm when the cold wind starts to blow
'Cause I thought I'd be better off all by myself
But I ain't sleeping, barely breathing, little like living hell

I was lonely then, you should see me now
Caught in a hole and I can't find my way out
Taking on water as I try not to drown
I was lonely then, you should see me now, whoa, oh

We're a dirty needle on a broken record
Everybody's ears, they were bound to bleed
But this new song I'm singing ain't a lonesome melody

Was lonely then, you should see me now
Found me someone and she loves me inside out
I had no idea love could be this loud
I was lonely then, you should see me now, oh-whoa

I was lonely then, you should see me now (you should see me now)
I was lonely then, you should see me now
I was lonely then, you should see me now (you should see me now)
I was lonely then, you should see me now
