How Much Can A Lonely Heart Stand

Just how much

Can a lonely heart stand

You left me one morning

My world came to an end

You said you didn't love me

That it was only pretend

Now my lonely pillow

Is just a place

For tears to land

Just how much

Can a lonely heart stand

Now my heart is broken

It seems that it will never mend

These teardrops are tokens

They were all in your plan

Now life has no meaning

Yet no one seems to understand

Just how much

Can a lonely heart stand

I went out last night

To see if I could live again

That's when I saw you

Kissing my best friend

You walked right on by me

And you gently held her hand

Just how much

Can a lonely heart stand

Just how much

Can a lonely heart stand
