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
