how do you get that lonely
how do you hurt that bad to make you
make the call that having no life at all is better than the life that you had

how do you get that lonely and nobody know
did his girlfriend break up with him
did he buy or steal that gun

how do you get that lonely
how do you hurt that bad to make you
make the call that having no life at all was better than the life that you had
how do you feel so empty you want to let it all go
how do you get that lonely and nobody know
