She'll watch to see when I'm alone She'll come if I cry She'll come around when my hurt is to the bone She can make a man wanna die She knows when I swallow my pride That's when she embraces me And the pain in my heart is put there to remind That she's my friend lonely When the tears roll down my face When my heart's but an empty space She's my friend lonely When the silence of being alone Feels like a bittersweet welcome home That's my friend lonely She's there when others turn their backs You don't want her but she's around And like a home-sweet-home She's there when you're alone To make you feel lower when you're down She hears what others don't hear The things I think to myself She'll hold your hand When no one's there to understand That's my friend lonely
