Lyrics Lonely for You Only - Brian Fallon

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
