I don't want to keep on walking alone
And I'm tired of reaching out and you say 'just move on.'
Am I not, what you want me to be?
Have you set expectations too high for me?
I've got my bridges, burning bright
Old memories yearning, night after night
Love chose a bad one, my biggest mistake
I'm gonna leave and hope the healing will take
Lord have mercy on this broken heart
And forgive her for tearing, me apart
Oh, these lonely nights, well, I've seen quite a few
Through it all I wouldn't wish them on you
It's time to lift, this world off of me
Break the chains and set, old ghosts free
Live and love, teach and learn
Win some, lose some, burn and get burned
Lord have mercy on this broken heart
And forgive her for tearing, me apart
Oh, these lonely nights, well, I've seen quite a few
Through it all I wouldn't wish them on you
These lonely nights....
I'm talking about... yeah
All these lonely nights, these lonely nights
Oooo, All, these lonely nights, oh, yeah
