Lonely

Nothing is for free. Nope.

Sing the Merciless...

When your heart has a mind of its own

You mess up, you break up and end up alone

You're so lonely

You go out, you get drunk and piss off your friends

Your blind self-destruction

Constructs its own ends

So lonely

Life gets bad, angels leave you.

You loser, you liar, you menace, you cad

You lay traps, you traitor!

To spite your own hand

Could it be this bad? Has the world gone mad?

and nothing's for free. No.

Nope.

Nothing is for free. So lonely.

Life gets mad and angels leave you

But don't think you can't go back

I promise you, you're not alone

If you want someone to give you some comfort

when everything starts coming down..

Oh, but nothing's for free. No. Nope.

Nothing you keep.
