Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely Lyrics

Show me the meaning of being lonely

So many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me...

Chorus:
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze
Guilty roads to an endless love
There's no control
Are you with me now
Your every wish will be done
They tell me

Chorus

There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body and soul
How can it be you're asking me to feel
The things you never show

You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are

Chorus- repeat

It's about unrequited love, from the perspective of the person who doesn't love back.

"Tell me why I can't be there where you are, there's something missing in my heart" shows he cannot seem to love her back because he doesn't have feelings for her.

"Eyes of stone observe the trends, they never say forever gaze upon me," and "you're asking me to feel the things you never show" means she never made it obvious or clear to him that she liked him or wanted more.

"Guilty roads to an endless love. There's no control, are you with me now?" He cannot return her feelings. He feels guilty about it, but her love being unrequited is inevitable because he can't reciprocate.

It's a sad and beautiful song.

Okay...Anyway, I really like this song..a lot. lol I think it's really pretty. It's supposed to be about BSB when they were in a lonely place in their lives. Like when Brian had to have heart surgery and stuff.

...I don't like people like you.

But what can I do about it?

If you don't like the song, don't waste your time and our space by just complaining about it, and at least praise a song you do like. Who has the time to go around complaining about songs they hate?

Oh, and BTW, the song's a little overly emotional, but good nevertheless.
