Why must I love the heartless one
Who'll never know the harm she's done
Though love is blind I should have known
Just call me lonesome from now on

I climb the stairs up to my room
But no one meets me in my gloom
The silence tells me she is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on

[ steel ]
These walls will hide me when I cry
I feel so lonely I could die
What good is life when hope is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on

I pray my memories at last
Will fade into the distant past
If I must live and love alone
Just call me lonesome from now on
