hello, hello, hello 

hello darkness 

hello pain 



welcome back my friends 

so good to see you again 



why did you leave me 

all by myself? 

without you what would I do? 

how would it feel to have to be real? 



sometimes I feel like I'm living in a coma 

but then I realize 

I'm just lonely 

I'm just lonely 

I'm just lonely 



hello, hello 

hello darkness 

pain, memories, shame 

all the time wasted 

self pity and blame 

there you'll go now you know 

been so long down below yeah 



and sometimes I'd like to start all over 

but then I realize 

I'm just lonely 

I'm just lonely 

I'm just lonely 



hello, hello 

hello memories return 

bridges I've burned 

the lessons I've taught weren't the lessons I learned 

and somehow I got this far 

but I don't, I don't, I don't know how man 



and sometimes I don't even want to be alive 

but then I realize 

I'm just lonely 

I'm just lonely 

I'm just lonely
