I Will Be By My Lonesome All Night

"I'll be by my lonesome all night"

"I'll be by my lonesome all night"
I went on a binge and was not okay 
All I have tonight, 
Money and thoughts of you 

"I'll be by my lonesome all night"
The vain glance at the bathroom mirror 
A warm quilt in the bedroom 
And thoughts of you unbalanced me 

"I'll be by my lonesome all night"
Selfish heart 
Shivering soul
Knows the path that leads to you

It is amazing 
I sense to feel
The thoughts of you keeps whirling 
It is amusing 
I doubt to feel 
The thoughts of you keeps rewinding 

O Jane,
You aren't my beloved 
But a breathe that I've known when
"I'll be by my lonesome all night"
