The only thing certain is we end up alone
To pick up the pieces of our once-happy home
She took all my records, the hits, the unknowns
She took all the Beatles
She took all the Eagles
She took all the Stones

Lonely ain't easy
Lonely ain't kind
Lonely won't leave me
She's a good friend of mine

Now years of my life that I’ll never get back
Ain’t it funny how the good times
Never outweigh the bad?
That diamond couldn’t cut through all the problems we had
I was always gone
She was all alone
What chance did we have?

Lonely ain't easy
Lonely ain't kind
Lonely won't leave me
She's a good friend of mine

Now I follow the rules, and I play my part
All I got left is this Tin-Man heart
No matter how hard I try, it won't seem to start
She said, “I'll always love you”
She said, “I'll never leave you
"'Til death do us part”
Lonely ain’t easy
Lonely ain’t kind
Lonely won’t leave me
Cause she’s a good friend of mine

She’s here in the morning
She’s in bed when I get home
Sometimes I wish lonely would leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
