i'm sitting alone on the sidelines    warming the bench for the meantime    could settle the pain if i'm put in the game    ‘cause working the team is when i shine       i'm driving myself through the country    the loneliness stands to confront me    but seeking another in a long lost lover    is a sure-fire way to go hungry       ‘cause each day burns by with regret    a wasted, abandoned cigarette    and all this time it would be a sweeter ride    with someone by my side       so i don't want to sleep a wink or    pour myself another drink    another table set for one    when all the world is having fun    i don't want to be the only    one who's feeling lonely    standing faceless in a crowd    anonymous, i can't be proud of    falling into solitude    the lonely life i always knew    i don't want to be so lonely    i don't want to be lonely       i'm tired of keeping my secrets    so you can feel free to repeat this    half of the time all the pleasure is mine    and the other half serves as my weakness       i'm tired of sleep without dreaming    i'm tired of touch without meaning    i'm tired of falling beyond the extremes    and i'm tired of in-betweening       ‘cause each day burns by with regret    a wasted, abandoned cigarette    and all this time it would be a sweeter ride    with someone by my side       so i don't want to sleep a wink or    pour myself another drink    another table set for one    when all the world is having fun    i don't want to be the only    one who's feeling lonely    standing faceless in a crowd    anonymous, i can't be proud of    falling into solitude    the lonely life i always knew    i don't want to be so lonely    i don't want to be lonely       thrills and needs won't mix    i don't need those kicks    i can get my fix through limericks on loneliness       ‘cause each day burns by with regret    a wasted, abandoned cigarette    and all this time it would be a sweeter ride    with someone by my side       i don't want to sleep a wink or    pour myself another drink    another table set for one    when all the world is having fun    i don't want to be the only    one who's feeling lonely    standing faceless in a crowd    anonymous, i can't be proud of    falling into solitude    the lonely life i always knew    i don't want to be so lonely    i don't want to be lonely       i don't want to sleep a wink or    pour myself another drink    another table set for one    when all the world is having fun    i don't want to be the only    one who's feeling lonely    standing faceless in a crowd    anonymous, i can't be proud of    falling into solitude    the lonely life i always knew    i don't want to be so lonely    i don't want to be lonely
