Lyrics

And then one day she said goodbye
And she walked away, but I didn?t cry
No, I just kept her out of my mind
And thought I?d finally left her behind

But tonight I let the lonely in
I let the lonely begin, now it?s underneath my skin
And tonight I let the lonely start
And it went straight to my heart
Now there?s no chance I can win
I let the lonely in

I fight the pain as hard as I can
I tell myself to act like a man
I was moving ahead according to plan
Now look at me, back where I began

Tonight I let the lonely in
I let the lonely begin, now it?s underneath my skin
And tonight I let the lonely start
And it went straight to my heart
Now there?s no chance I can win
I let the lonely in

I could surround myself with friends, music and lights
Find someone to help me forget, at least for tonight
But now I?m all alone with a telephone
And I?m wondering if she?s home

Tonight I let the lonely in
I let the lonely begin, now it?s underneath my skin
And tonight I let the lonely start
And it went straight to my heart
Now there?s no chance I can win
I let the lonely in
