Lonely Holiday Lyrics
It was a lonely holiday
I was alone -- you were away
In Fayetteville or in another state
There's so many towns I hate
When you leave me, it breaks me like a bone
But it's never as bad as when you come home
Thought so much about suicide
Parts of me have already died
CHORUS:
Lonely -- baby I'm not lonely
Baby I'm not -- I've got my imaginary friends
Happy -- baby I'm so happy
Baby I'm so -- I've got my imaginary friends
And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?
It was a lonely holiday
I was alone -- I was afraid
The bedroom walls were closing in
It must be closing time again
When you leave me, it breaks me like the note
That you said got stuck in your throat
Thought so much about suicide
Parts of me have already died
CHORUS
I was alone -- you were away
In Fayetteville or in another state
There's so many towns I hate
But it's never as bad as when you come home
Thought so much about suicide
Parts of me have already died
Lonely -- baby I'm not lonely
Baby I'm not -- I've got my imaginary friends
Happy -- baby I'm so happy
Baby I'm so -- I've got my imaginary friends
And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?
I was alone -- I was afraid
The bedroom walls were closing in
It must be closing time again
That you said got stuck in your throat
Thought so much about suicide
Parts of me have already died
I think this song is just about being lonely, but at the same time you're not lonely because you have always have yourself to keep you company. Hence the term "imaginary friends."
