I've sung songs about sun and rain
morning flights and midnight trains
old dirt roads and diamond rings
and whiskey drinking
pickup trucks and cadillacs
the right and wrong side of the tracks
the kind of love that always lasts
but tonight i'm singing
[Chorus]
for all the hearts that had to break
for all the nights you lied awake
for all the love not meant to be
this is for the lonely
all these miles and cigarettes
all those words I left unsaid
playing over in my head
like some old movie
where the girl says good-bye
the color fades to black and white
there's nothing left to do but cry
no happy ending
[Chorus]
for the lonely...
[Chorus]
for the lonely...
I've sung songs about sun and rain
morning flights and midnight trains
but this is for the lonely...
