[Verse 1]
I can see the city written in your face
Freckles spread like constellations all over the place
Darling, I walked you to the station
Shooting with my heart on my sleeve
Now I'm staring at your photograph and hoping you ain't made a fool of me

[Pre-Chorus]
So if you're struggling to go to sleep tonight
When you're on your own beneath the lonely lights
Oh, darling, if I ever cross your mind
Won't you let me know?

[Chorus]
Oh, it's hard
Oh, it's hard to be alone
Oh, it's hard
Oh, it's hard to be alone

[Verse 2]
Moved to the big city and called it home
Oh, what a crowded place to live alone
She was a choir girl when we were young
What have we done?
What have we done?
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, hey, hey

[Pre-Chorus]
So if you're struggling to go to sleep tonight
When you're on your own beneath the lonely lights
Oh, darling, if I ever cross your mind
Won't you let me know?

[Chorus]
Oh, it's hard
Oh, it's hard to be alone
Oh, it's hard
Oh, it's hard to be alone
