The Forester Sisters Lonely Alone lyrics

I was so careless, I left you all alone
When I was running in the streets and carrying on
You were so patient, you never said a word
You tried to hide all your tears and bury the hurt

I was such a fool, I didn't figure it out
Till I came home last night to an empty house

I didn't know it was this lonely alone
I didn't know the nights could be so long
When someone you need so desperately is gone

I didn't know how bad the hurt could be
It took you walking out to make me see
Baby, please come home
I didn't know it was this lonely alone

It's only midnight but baby with you gone
It's forever since sundown and forever till dawn
And as I lie here looking at myself
It's hitting me hard how you must have felt

I'm sorry, I hurt you and I'm sorry, you cried

And I'd give anything if I could hold you tonight

I didn't know it was this lonely alone
I didn't know the nights could be so long
When someone you need so desperately is gone

I didn't know how bad the hurt could be
It took you walking out to make me see
Baby, please come home
I didn't know it was this lonely alone

I didn't know it was this lonely alone
I didn't know the nights could be so long
Baby, please come home
I didn't know it was this lonely alone

I didn't know it was this lonely alone
I didn't know the nights could be so long
Baby, please come home
I didn't know it was this lonely alone
