Hello

hello, hello, hello 
hello darkness 
hello pain 

welcome back my friends 
so good to see you again 

why did you leave me 
all by myself? 
without you what would I do? 
how would it feel to have to be real? 

sometimes I feel like I'm living in a coma 
but then I realize 
I'm just lonely 
I'm just lonely 
I'm just lonely 

hello, hello 
hello darkness 
pain, memories, shame 
all the time wasted 
self pity and blame 
there you'll go now you know 
been so long down below yeah 

and sometimes I'd like to start all over 
but then I realize 
I'm just lonely 
I'm just lonely 
I'm just lonely 

hello, hello 
hello memories return 
bridges I've burned 
the lessons I've taught weren't the lessons I learned 
and somehow I got this far 
but I don't, I don't, I don't know how man 

and sometimes I don't even want to be alive 
but then I realize 
I'm just lonely 
I'm just lonely 
I'm just lonely
