In a rainy city all alone 
I had no place to call my own 
Small hotel and smokin' cigarettes 
Nobody knows what a pain it gets 
Do you believe when 
I tell you 
That lonely is the hardest 
Do you believe when 
I tell you 
That lonely is the hardest state of all 
Wrap my arms around a sleepless night 
Count the hours 'til the morning light 
Pin up photographs on empty walls writing poems to none at all 
Do you believe when 
I tell you 
That lonely is the hardest 
Do you believe when 
I tell you 
That lonely is the hardest state of all 
Look out the window at the crowded streets below 
Seems everybody has someplace to go 
Look in the mirror with far away eyes 
Cry in silence at a wasted life 
Do you believe when 
I tell you 
That lonely is the hardest 
Do you believe when 
I tell you 
That lonely is the hardest state of all
