"i'm lonely" lyrics

Another day, another welcome mat
A door engraved with twenty-eight, I won't remember that
These corridors, they never lead to anywhere
Another face, a late reminder of
How I'm so used to being used
So, I don't carry love
My hands, they pay respect to what they once could bare
Oh, how I wish you'd hold them now, but you're not there

Why don't we talk?
Why don't we talk?
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh, please can you hold me?
That's all I ask
No more than that
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh, why can't you hold me?
I'm, I'm, I'm

And all it was, I know, was wishing you'd not stall
And hoping I preserved the coating on these pebble walls
But misconstrued, I'll always lose what I can't solve
The hanging on to ambiguity
Each stone I hold's a sequence shown on every road that we
Followed but, now we don't speak, no

Why don't we talk?
Why don't we talk?
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh, please can you hold me?
That's all I ask
No more than that
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh, why can't you hold me?
I'm, I'm, I'm
I'm, I'm, I'm
I'm, I'm, I'm
Know I'm, I'm, I'm

You're serving a purpose
In a life that hurts
But bounds to the surface
You'll forget what it's worth
You've never looked better
Suppressed and reserved

Why don't we talk?
Why don't we talk?
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh, please can you hold me?
That's all I ask
No more than that
Oh, I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Oh, why can't you hold me?
I'm, I'm, I'm
I'm, I'm, I'm
I'm, I'm, I'm
Know I'm, I'm, I'm
