Loneliness Is Worse

When you've had enough
when you've got it bad enough
and you can't let go
when it comes to blows
and you start to overflow
and you can't get home

It's a subtle kind of cruel it taps my spine
here I'm drawing a line
I'm asking please

Don't you want to be happy with me
don't you want to be happy with me
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon I'll turn
sadder than you ever were
and you learn loneliness is worse
you've got to try

December's all alone
and he's calling me on the phone
but he sounds so cold
he says he loves me so
but how would I ever know
certain words grow old

It's a vicious kind of catch it sides me blind
now I'm out of my mind
I want to scream

Don't you want to be happy with me
don't you want to be happy with me
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon I'll turn
sadder than you ever were
and you learn loneliness is worse
you've got to try

Love liked me long ago
it had a way of making everyone the same
but now the angels must laugh and sigh to hear me
pleading with you needing you this way
oh why

Don't you want to be happy with me
don't you want to be happy with me
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon I'll turn
sadder than you ever were
and you learn loneliness is worse
you've got to try

To stay mine all the way...
