Lonely Lonely
The «L» is for the laughter, we shared from the start
«O» is for the only girl in my heart
The «N» is for the night, you told me we were though
For you had found somebody new
«E» is for the end of my world, a place I shared with only you
Empty, my world is dark
Loneliness has just begun
The «L» is for the Love that was meant for me only
And «Y» Why did you leave me lonely
Lonely
i played this a lot when i was in the army. Got sent to northen ireland and my girlfriend dumped me for going as she was catholic and didnt want me going to defend ireland against the catholic IRA.
She didnt have the guts to tell me to my face so gave me a letter and a little parcel and told me not to open them till i was on the plane. The letter was saying dont bother coming back as i dont want u anymore and the parcel had the engament ring in it i bought for her.
Worst thing u can do is dump someone like that going into a potentail combat zone.
A few months later she heard i got wounded in an IRA car bomb and she sent me a later saying shame u didnt die.
When she heard i got wounded again in the falklands war she wanted me back cause she felt sorry for me. I told her to go to hell lol.
Reminds me of my close friend from high school. He got shipped off to Vietnam a year later, and I wrote him several times over the two years he was there, and he told me no one else had written him but me. Not even his high school sweetheart who found someone else while he was gone, and fighting for his country. He finally made it home, too bad it was in a coffin with an American flag draped over it. He was killed week before he was to return to the states. I still think about him from time, to time, although it seems like another lifetime now. He was 19 years old.
Lyrics
Lonely
I’m Mr. Lonely
I have nobody
For my own
I’m so lonely
I’m Mr. Lonely
Wish I had someone
To call on the phone
Now I’m a soldier
A lonely soldier
Away from home
Through no wish of my own
That’s why I’m lonely
I’m Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home
Letters
Never a letter
I get no letters
In the mail
I’ve been forgotten
Yeah, forgotten
Oh how I wonder
How is it I failed?
Now I’m a soldier
A lonely soldier
Away from home
Through no wish of my own
That’s why I’m lonely
I’m Mr. Lonely
I wish that I could go back home
I lowkey kinda hate it when people comment things like
"Lmao me on valentine's day" about this song. Yes, he's saying he's lonely but this song is really about him being drafted and feeling neglected by general society, not just his loved one. This song has so much more meaning to it than just the first verse, but unfortunately, that's the only verse some people are willing to listen to.
It’s Christmas Eve. everybody I know is with family doing fun stuff, celebrating this holiday. In the meanwhile I’m sick as a dog, my parents are going to divorce. This is my first holiday without both of them here. It’s just my father and I right now. And no gifts for me this year. My crush also said she used to like me, but now is with somebody else. So that is just great. I worked so hard for her, I might not be the most handsome person but I feel like I make up for it by being nice. Never getting mad once and always being there for everybody. But that just leads to exhaustion and now I’m just laying on the couch replaying this song for the sixth time. Severely depressed lost a lot of friends because I had to move countries and I just feel like running into a wall as fast as I can to make it all stop. Merry Christmas for all the people who don’t have anybody this year or are going to end the year on a depth point of their life. Just try to be positive and you’ll come out on top, even if it’s alone
