have you ever been so lonely
you run out of reasons to stay awake?
and each hour off the clock
is 60 reasons for heartbreak?

have you ever been so lonely
you can’t remember hearing your name
spoken by other than salesmen
and every one is the same

each one has just what you need
to make your life complete
you look for answers in the eyes
of everyone you meet

have you ever been so lonely
you know it’s useless to cry
have you ever wept anyway
as a way to pass the time
