Let Me Be Lonely

it's four in the morning the phone on the wall is ringing so loudly
i'm sick of it all but what can i do
i told you again that we're through
the neighbors upstairs yes they know these paper thin walls let everything show
they say keep it down but i can't with you hanging around

(chorus)
well you tell me you don't want to fight
you're just here to see if i'm doing alright
well darling let me be lonely tonight

the sound of hearts shattering down on the floor is just the same as it was once before
my wisdom in years just won't be washed away by your tears
now i can see your disguise is nothing more than red lipstick and lies painted for me to see that you won't let me be

(chorus)
