Brian Fallon - Lonely for You Only Lyrics

Well don't lie to me, don't lie to yourself.
We were much too sentimental, baby, to make it in the modern world.
And I spent my nights alone, and I rode the wheels off.
I simply ain't the first thief, honey, hold up on a cross.

And I don't believe that anybody here should cry for me.

Cause they'll never know what it cost you to be whole.
But to me you're a dream, a divine mystery.
And I'm lonely,
Lonely for you only.
I'm lonely,
Lonely for you only.

So come talk to me, I can't see inside your head.
There's a bitter beast that comes to feed on the things we never said.
Tell me all the vicious things that no one knows but God.
You simply ain't the worst that I've seen stumbling through the dark.

And I'll take it to my grave no matter what they do to me.

Cause they'll never know what it cost you to be whole.
But to me you're a dream, a divine mystery.
And I'm lonely,
Lonely for you only.
I'm lonely,
Lonely for you only.

And maybe someday we'll get used to all this rain.
Tumbling like the money through my hands.
And maybe they'll call and say, we made a big mistake.
And you and I will get our wings.

Cause they'll never know what it cost you to be whole.
But to me you're a dream, a divine mystery.
And I'm lonely,
Lonely for you only.
I'm lonely,
Lonely for you only.

To call me up and take me for a ride.
Where troubled lovers run away and bleed for a while.
In poems about Jersey girls they knew in another life.
Long before you and I were born.
