Life holds no fascination   Without you here with me   Each hour's eternity      And friends are small consolation   Talk doesn't ease the pain   The hurt can't be explained      Only a lonely heart knows   How the memory cuts like a knife   Since you walked out of my life   I'm half crazy day and night      And only a lonely heart knows   How the heartache, it grows and grows   Oh, how long does it take till the heartache goes?   Only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows      Time is a friend and an enemy   In time the hurt might end   Till then the walls close in      I'm so lost, I'm numbed by your leaving me   I sit alone and stare   You don't know till you've been there      And only a lonely heart knows   How the memory cuts like a knife   Since you walked out of my life   I'm half crazy day and night      And only a lonely heart knows   How the heartache, it grows and grows   Oh, how long does it take till the heartache goes?   Only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows      Tell me how long does it take till the heartache goes?   Only a lonely, only a lonely   Yes, only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows
