Another day, another welcome mat,
A door engraved with 28, I won't remember that.
These corridors, they never lead to anywhere
Another face, a late reminder of
How I'm so used to being used
So, I don't carry love
My hands, they pay respect to what they once could bare
Oh, how I wish you'd hold them now, but you're not there
Why don't we talk
Why don't we talk?
I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh please can you hold me
That's all I ask
No more than that
I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh why can't you hold me?
All it was, was wishing you'd not stall
And hoping I preserved the coating on these pebble walls
But misconstrued, I'll always lose what I can't solve
The hanging on to ambiguity
Each stone I hold's a sequence shown on every road that we followed,
But, now we don't speak, no
Why don't we talk
Why don't we talk?
I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh please can you hold me
That's all I ask
No more than that
I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh why can't you hold me?
You're serving a purpose
In a life that hurts
But bound to the surface
You'll forget what it's worth
You've never looked better
Suppressed and reserved
Why don't we talk
Why don't we talk?
I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh please can you hold me
That's all I ask
No more than that
I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh why can't you hold me?
