Only Be Lonely Lyrics

We've been apart a long time, it feels like years
The memories bring tears
Good times, I think of all the good times
To keep my sanity 'til I get home

And I know it's not how we planned it
It's a crazy world out there
Just hold on to the words we shared

I'll only be lonely for you
I'll only be lonely
For you

Just remember as life goes by
What we have will never die
I'll always be waiting there for you
How long, it doesn't matter how long
'cause time can never take you from my soul

And I know it's not how we planned it
It's a crazy world out there
Just hold on to the words we shared

I'll only be lonely for you
I'll only be lonely

Good friends are hard to find
Believe me, it's true
I'll only be lonely for you
Lonely for you

And I know it's not how we planned it
It's a crazy world out there
Just hold on to the words we shared

I'll only be lonely for you
I'll only be lonely
For you

I'll only, I'll only, I'll only be lonely
I'll only be lonely for you

We've been apart a long time, it feels like years
The memories bring tears
Good times, I think of all the good times
To keep my sanity 'til I get home

And I know it's not how we planned it
It's a crazy world out there
Just hold on to the words we shared

I'll only be lonely for you
I'll only be lonely
For you

Just remember as life goes by
What we have will never die
I'll always be waiting there for you
How long, it doesn't matter how long
'cause time can never take you from my soul

And I know it's not how we planned it
It's a crazy world out there
Just hold on to the words we shared

I'll only be lonely for you
I'll only be lonely

Good friends are hard to find
Believe me, it's true
I'll only be lonely for you
Lonely for you

And I know it's not how we planned it
It's a crazy world out there
Just hold on to the words we shared

I'll only be lonely for you
I'll only be lonely
For you

I'll only, I'll only, I'll only be lonely
I'll only be lonely for you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is about a long-distance relationship where two partners have been far apart for a long time, and express the longing and loneliness one feels in it. Despite the unexpected separation, they acknowledge the chaotic nature of the world and urge their partner to hold onto the loving words they shared and to stay strong. The relationship they have goes further than just love, they are deeply connected. Both are willing to wait for as long as it takes, committed to their partner fully.
