The Lemon Twigs - Born To Be Lonely

Her song's been the same for so long
The refrain goes on, like the dawn
With no one to see it
But she keeps singing like she means it

New games she's never learned play today
She can't discern the rules
But she's not a fool

I wasn't only born to be lonely
I need a new love to keep me alive
No use in crying out, I now am finding out
Show me a true heart
Give me a sign

Her love's just the same as your love
Though it's stained and worn
It's a door to another season
She sleeps alone, thinks "What's the reason?"

Time runs very slow when no one wants to go with you
But that's nothing new

I wasn't only born to be lonely
I need a new love to keep me alive
No use in crying out, I now am finding out
Show me a true heart
Give me a sign

I have friends, I don't need more
They're seashells washing onto shore
They come and go, I'm here all-day
Withering my life away
I take the bus, go to the store
Though I'm not hungry anymore
The scene is set, the die is cast
My final chance is fading fast

Old scars never heal like fallen stars
You can feel their glow
Looking from below
