This is for the lonely
This is for the lonely
Sometimes I think
I wished on the wrong star

'Cause I always seem so far
But the one that I dream of
It's hard to wait for love
But I make it on my own

'Cause I'm learning to be strong
But it's never easy standing all alone

[Chorus]
This is for the lonely (loney)
This is for the lonely (loney)
We all live underneath the same blue sky
This is for the loneliness tonight

I'll help you find a way to hold on
At night I cry (At night I cry)
But no one's by my side (No one's by my side)
My tears they go unheard

So I look for the words
To raise my heart
Now I sing this prayer
That somehow and that somewhere
I would turn around if I love standing there

[Chorus]
This is for the lonely
This is for the lonely
We all live underneath the same blue sky
This is for the loneliness tonight
I'll help you find a way to hold on

This is for the lonely
This is for the lonely
We all live underneath the same blue sky (we love, we love)
All my tears may go unheard

'Cause no one's by my side
It's hard to be unloved
It's hard to wait for love
Oohhoo...

This is for the loneliness tonight
I'll help you find a way to hold on (I'll hope you find a way, You'll find a way)
This is for the lonely (I know you love me)
This is for the lonely (I know you love me)

We all live underneath the same blue sky (I'm gonna help you to hold on)
This is for the loneliness tonight (Ohh...)
I'll help you find a way (I'll help you find a way)
This is for the lonely
