[Verse]
Sinking
Wanting
Thinking
Sinking all the while

[Chorus]
It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

[Verse]
When it's cold outside when it's cold inside
When it hurts to be alone and it hurts to be alone

[Chorus]
It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

[Verse]
When I'm feeling it when I'm down and out
When I'm feeling it when I'm down and out

[Chorus]
It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone
[Verse]
All torn up, all torn down
I get messed up
And I'm thinking that I'm sinking when I'm sinking all the while

[Chorus]
It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

[Guitar solo]

[Verse]
Falling down, falling down
I stand up
I fall back down

[Chorus]
It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

[Verse]
Caving in
Caving in
I think my heart is caving in

[Chorus]
It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone
[Verse]
Dead air
Dead phone
Dead quiet
Sinking all the while

[Chorus]
It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

[Verse]
Writhing my hands
Grinding my teeth
Staring at the floor
Sinking all the while

[Chorus]
It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

[Guitar solo 2]

[Verse]
Cutting my teeth on the blues
Soul sinking to the bottom of my shoes
Thinking my life's a waiting game
Staring at my grave and feeling the same
[Chorus]
It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

[Verse]
When all I want is all I want
When I want it, I want it!

[Chorus]
It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

[Verse]
When all I need is all I need
When I need it, I need it!

[Chorus]
It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

[Verse]
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking all the way

[Chorus]
It hurts to be alone
When it hurts to be alone

[Guitar solo 3]
