Is Lonely Really a Crime

I've had many one night stands, that left me empty Spent way too much on whiskey, and on beer But the one thing, I find, as I get older Is that lonely, is my biggest fear My friends have all gone on, to get married And here I sit, on this barstool again My troubles I share with the bartender Hoping that he'll be my friend It's lonely within these four walls Even worse is my heartache and pain From knowing that my future won't change much And tomorrow will be more of the same Lonely in self, and lonely in love Lonely and empty inside This lonely makes me feel incomplete But is lonely really a crime Seven precious hours I've wasted Just watching the clock on the wall Wondering if the silence that surrounds me Is the sound of a heart gone AWOL Can you lend me an ear if you have one Would you care to spare some of your time To listen to a man who needs answers Is being lonely really a crime Lonely in self, and lonely in love Lonely and empty inside This lonely makes me, feel incomplete But is lonely really a crime Lonely in self and lonely in love Lonely and empty inside This lonely for me has gone on for so long I think I'm starting to loose my mind This lonely haunts me Most of the time But is lonely really a crime.....
