When Pain's Too Deep For Tears......

Lonesome

'Children dreaming....
Down the hall
Back to back....
We face the wall...
Win some...Lose some...Lonesome

Loving words....
Once filled this bed
But tonight....
They go unsaid....
Win some...Lose some...Lonesome

'Guess we're not who we thought we were
'Guess some vows don't keep
Alone in the dark...two worlds apart
Only.... silence...speaks

All roads lead to....
Come what may
When there's nothing....
Left to say...
But....Win some...Lose some...lonesome
