I know you've seen all your dreams turn to dust
I know your heart's been left in the rain to rust
But you won't be lonely now
I see a long trail of tears in your eye
Back to the day when the innocence died
But you won't be lonely now

[Chorus]
I want to give you everything you need
I want to show you
You won't be lonely
You won't be lonely now

Holding you here like a rose in the dark
I make this promise to you from my heart
You won't be lonely now

[Chorus]

I want to give you everything you need
I want to show you
You won't be lonely now
I'll do anything to make you see
How I'm gonna love you
You won't be lonely
You won't be lonely

Now that you're here in my arms I'm alive
For the first time in a long time, I
Look at my face in the mirror and see
The man that I've wanted to be

Oh yeah

[Chorus]

I want to give you everything you need
I want to show you
You won't be lonely now
I'll do anything to make you see
How I'm gonna love you
You won't be lonely
You won't be lonely
You won't be lonely, now
