Heartbeat pounding so hard it keeps me wide awake at night
I wait alone in the dark for you to make the moment right

If I could only show you all that might be lost
Then you would never wonder what the secret was
And this is what I'd tell you

The lonely heart you see tonight
Will not give up without a fight
And I'm never gonna let it fade away
Never gonna let it fade away

Oh, you can look in my eyes and see that you're the only one
I would break down and cry if you became the lonely one

I'd rather play the fool and try and hold a star
Than never know if you were going to break my heart
And I can see it shining

The lonely heart you see tonight
Will not give up without a fight
And I'm never gonna let it fade away
Never gonna let it fade away

No matter what I say to make you understand
It's all up to you to take the future in your hands
So please don't keep me waiting

The lonely heart you see tonight
Will not give up without a fight
And I'm never gonna let it fade away
Never gonna let it fade away
