I am the only being whose doom
No tongue would ask, no eye would mourn
I never caused a thought of gloom
Or a smile since my birth in secret pleasure, in secret tears
(Oooh) This changeful life has slipped away
(Oooh) As friendless after all these years
(I am so lonely I am so lonely but I'm alive I am alive
I am so lonely I am so lonely least I'm alive least I'm alive
I am so lonely I am so lonely least I'm alive least I'm alive)
I am a lonely being
I am so gripped with feeling
I am a lonely being
I'm just looking for meaning
There have been times I cannot hide
There have been times when all this was drear
When my sad soul forgot its pride and longed for one to love me
Love me, love me here
(Oooh) and they have died so long ago
(Oooh) I hardly think they ever were
(I am so lonely I am so lonely but I'm alive I am alive
I am so lonely I am so lonely least I'm alive least I'm alive
I am so lonely I am so lonely least I'm alive least I'm alive)
I am a lonely being
I am so gripped with feeling
I am a lonely being
Just looking for some meaning
Twas grief enough to think mankind
All hollow servile and insincere
But worse to trust my mind and find
The same corruption there
Then fancy rainbows fast withdrew
Experience then told me truth
In mortal blossoms never grew
Twas grief enough to me
That you didn't see!
(I am so lonely I am so lonely but I'm alive I am alive
I am so lonely I am so lonely least I'm alive least I'm alive
I am so lonely I am so lonely least I'm alive least I'm alive)
I am a lonely being
I am so gripped with feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feelings
I am a lonely being
Just searching for some meaning
