Wish I'd told her how I felt
Then maybe she'd be here right now
But, instead

I pretended I'm glad you went away
These four walls are closin' more every day
And I'm dying inside
And nobody knows it but me

Like a clown, I put on a show
The pain is real, even if nobody knows
And I'm cryin' inside
And nobody knows it but me

Why didn't I say the things I needed to say
How could I let my angel get away
Now my world is just a tumblin' down
I can say it so clearly
But, you're nowhere around

Chorus:
The nights are lonely
The days are so sad
And I just keep thinkin' about
The love that we had
And I'm missin' you
And nobody knows it but me

I carry a smile when I'm broken in two
And I'm nobody without someone like you
I'm tremblin' inside
And nobody knows it but me

I lie awake, it's a quarter past three
I'm screamin' at night as if I thought you'd hear me
Yeah, my heart is callin' you
And nobody knows it but me

How blue can I get
You could ask my heart
But, like a jigsaw puzzle, it's been torn all apart
A million words couldn't say just how I feel
A million years from now, ya know
I'll be lovin' you still

Chorus

Tomorrow mornin'
I'm hittin' the dusty road
Gonna find you wherever
Ever you might go
I'm gonna unload my heart
And hope you come back to me
Said, when the nights are lonely

Chorus
