[Verse 1]
I met lonely tonight
She was sitting at a table by a neon light
Pretending everything was gonna be just fine
I wish I could tell you what was on her mind
I met lonely tonight
He was walking down the street in the pouring rain
Trying to find someone else to blame
Wish that I would've caught his name

[Chorus]
I met lonely tonight and I didn't know what to do
I met lonely tonight, it reminded me of you
And I know that it's not right
I didn't come here to fight
Yeah, but I met lonely tonight

[Verse 2]
I met lonely tonight
She was standing by herself, waiting for the bus
Pretty sure she'd already given up
And that's what made me think about us

[Chorus]
I met lonely tonight and I didn't know what to do
I met lonely tonight, it reminded me of you
And I know that it's not right
I didn't come here to fight
Yeah, but I met lonely tonight
[Bridge]
So tell me to leave
When I do, I lock the door
I understand
That you don't want me anymore

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And I know that it's not right
I didn't come here to fight
Yeah, but I met lonely tonight

[Outro]
I met lonely tonight
I was staring in the mirror, so I close my eyes
