My Friend Lonely

She'll watch to see when I'm alone

She'll come if I cry

She'll come around when my hurt is to the bone

She can make a man wanna die

She knows when I swallow my pride

That's when she embraces me

And the pain in my heart is put there to remind

That she's my friend lonely

When the tears roll down my face

When my heart's but an empty space

She's my friend lonely

When the silence of being alone

Feels like a bittersweet welcome home

That's my friend lonely

She's there when others turn their backs

You don't want her but she's around

And like a home-sweet-home

She's there when you're alone

To make you feel lower when you're down

She hears what others don't hear

The things I think to myself

She'll hold your hand

When no one's there to understand

That's my friend lonely
