About This Song


This all started with this melody I came up with on my guitar. I had half written a song to it but was struggling to finish it. I took it to my Buddy Bernie Nelson and we and we came up with this. This one is probably one of my favorites.

Verse 1]
Well you called me
Just to see
How I was doing
Since you left me
Am I still eating
Am I sleeping
Good at night
Well I thank you
For checking in
I'm still the same I've always been
A few more teardrops
And I'm sure
I'll be alright

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm only
Lonely
I'm still breathing
I'm still needing
The love I knew
And I'm just crying
I'm not dying
No I'm just lonely
But only
For you

[Verse 2]
Well I hear you're
Doing well
If you're lonely
It's hard to tell
Someone told me
You've already
Got a new girl
Well I wonder
If she knows
That someday you'll
Let her go
I guess forever
Well it's never
In your plans

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm only
Lonely
I'm still breathing
I'm still needing
The love I knew
And I'm just crying
I'm not dying
No I'm just lonely
But only
For you

[Outro]
Yes I'm lonely
Lonely
For you
