If you ever heard the words I just don't care 
Baby please forgive the foolish heart that told you that 
When the road got rough I started doubting myself 
Still I can't believe that life's worth living 
With anybody else 
So why do we say goodbye 
When we know we'll only cry 
We're gonna be lonely 
(Gonna be lonely) 
And why do we fool ourselves 
Saying there'll be someone else 
For me there's you only 
(Gonna be lonely) 

All we need to make it right is precious time 
But it's funny such a simple thing's so hard to find 
Don't know when or where we started 
Living separate lives 
But I know it's still worth fighting for 
I see it in your eyes 

So why do we say goodbye 
When we know we'll only cry 
We're gonna be lonely 
(Gonna be lonely) 
And why do we fool ourselves 
Saying there'll be someone else 
For me there's you only 
(Gonna be lonely) 

Now I realise that I've been living so selfishly 
Someone along the way 
I forgot you had your own hopes and dreams 
I never meant to make you weak 
But I was too blind to see that I've been hurting you 
How I made you blue 
Now guilt is killing me 

So why do we say goodbye 
When we know we'll only cry 
We're gonna be lonely 
(Gonna be lonely) 
And why do we fool ourselves 
Saying there'll be someone else 
For me there's you only 
(Gonna be lonely)
