I lie alone every night, I soothe my heart
Though we're together we're worlds apart
And I wonder are you feeling the same, would you like to be
Somewhere else with someone like me

We meet on a side street corner, we keep outa sight
And we're tellin each other we're all right

So hard to be open, love will find a way
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you, if you want me
I found my direction, although it's taken a while
I won't waste no more of my life, you're gonna see me through

You lie alone every night, you're not yourself
You lie there thinkin about someone else
When someone's holdin you down, it ain't too nice
You sell your soul and you pay the price

You bend like a weeping willow, you cry in the night
And you're keeping your secrets locked up tight

So hard to be open, love will find a way
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you, if you want me
I found my direction, although it's taken a while
I won't waste no more of my life, you're gonna see me through

So hard to be open, the love will find a way
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you, if you want me
I found my direction, although it's taken a while
I won't waste no more of my life, you're gonna see me

I lie alone every night, I want to scream
I'm only having you in my dreams
It's just no good anymore, I can't describe
How cold and empty I feel inside

You bend like a weeping willow, you cry in the night
And you're keeping your secrets locked up tight

So hard to be open, love will find a way
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you, if you want me
I found my direction, although it's taken a while
I won't waste no more of my life, you're gonna see me through
