I need to feel your heartbeat when you say you love me I don't wanna hear it, if it's something that you don't mean If I had to leave you now, there would be an empty space It doesn't matter anyhow You can take your things and go your own way And there's two more lonely people in the world, tonight Baby, you and I, are just two more lonely people Who gave up the fight, yeah, wrong or right Well, you know my heart is aching You don't have to break it, if love don't change your mind Then there's two more lonely people tonight I don't want the pictures I don't want your sympathy We don't have to be friends We don't have to be enemies In my head I break it down, and I'm absolutely sure That you and I could work it out, or we could kill the lights on What we had before And there's two more lonely people in the world, tonight Baby, you and I, are just two more lonely people Who gave up the fight, yeah, wrong or right Well, you know my heart is aching You don't have to break it, if love don't change your mind Then there's two more lonely people Well, we got something special that should be enough Nothing is predictable when it comes to love (oh) Maybe lately, baby, it's been a little rough But if you walk away tonight We'll be two more lonely people in the world, tonight Baby, you and I, are just two more lonely people Who gave up the fight And there's two more lonely people in the world, tonight Baby, you and I, are just two more lonely people (you and I, people) Who gave up the fight, yeah, wrong or right Well, you know my heart is aching You don't have to break it If love don't change your mind (you don't, change your mind) Then there's two more lonely people, tonight

I'm an island, I'm alone, but I'm alive Candy Apple, I went home without a prize They're all laughing, keep on laughing, so am I I'm an island, I'm alone, but I'm alive Crying doesn't make you charming Only thing I'm not is sorry Dancing at a pity party, at a pity party Guess we're all lonely people Guess we're all lonely people Romeo has no sequel Guess we're all lonely people All that love is, is a means to an end I'm always finding broken hearts instead All that love is, is a means to an end Romeo and Juliet are dead Crying doesn't make you charming Only thing I'm not is sorry Dancing at a pity party, at a pity party Guess we're all lonely people Guess we're all lonely people Romeo has no sequel Guess we're all lonely people Guess we're all lonely people Guess we're all lonely people Romeo has no sequel Guess we're all lonely people All that love is (all that love is) Is a means to an end (is a means to an end) I'm always finding broken hearts instead All that love is (all that love is) Is a means to an end (is-oh) I'm always finding (yeah), broken hearts instead It's really scary Truth is we all die alone So you better love yourself before you go

(Arthur Leo Owens - Sanger D. Shafer) She'd be hurt if she knew I was drinking Cause one's too much and twelve just ain't enough She knows how it messes up my thinking How it makes me look for someone else to love. I get honky tonk amnesia And I forget where all my love belongs I get honky tonk amnesia And sometimes it lasts all night long. --- Instrumental --- She'll accept my story without question About the overtime I'm puttin' in If someone calls she'll tell them that I'm resting While I wonder what I've done and where I've been. I get honky tonk amnesia And I forget where all my love belongs I get honky tonk amnesia And sometimes it lasts all night long. And sometimes it lasts all night long...

I've finally found a place where I can take it All this loneliness you left behind. On a mountain that's no hill for a climber. Just one step up, sit back and pour the wine. CHORUS I climb up on barstool mountain. High above your world where there's no pain. And I'm the king of barstool mountain. Pretending I don't love you once again. At closing time I step down off the mountain. I'm strong enough to make it without you. I know that I'll be right back here tomorrow. Too weak to sober up and face the truth And... (Chorus)
