it's hard   wanting something you know you can't touch   watching your chances go by   but it's life   fighting for what you can never win   even though you've tried      and i try to sleep at night   telling myself that i've done my best   but the thought of you won't let my heart rest   i can't turn off the lights   afraid that i'll never wake up   cause you took my breath away   and i'm ripped and torn apart   guess i'm just another lonely heart      won't close my eyes   and i can't tell myself anymore lies   cause the truth is right in front of me   and it gets harder to breathe      and i try to sleep at night   telling myself that i've done my best   but the thought of you won't let my heart rest   i can't turn off the lights   afraid that i'll never wake up   cause you took my breath away   and i'm ripped and torn apart   guess i'm just another lonely heart      so here's to all the lonely hearts   when you're cold and it's getting dark   tell yourself that you'll be ok   cause love will be on it's way   some day      and i try to sleep at night   telling myself that i've done my best   but the thought of you won't let my heart rest   i can't turn off the lights   afraid that i'll never wake up   cause you took my breath away   and i'm ripped and torn apart   guess i'm just another lonely heart
