Vārdi: Jaymay. Lonely Men Built Lonely Cities.

Lonely men built lonely cities

She worked hard until she was beautiful

Still he noticed nothing unusual, this was his way

He's gonna stay devoted to the project

And she's committed herself to not caring anymore

Her heart wasn't sore, she was sure she had cured



The burden of loving someone

May be better than loving no one



She's lookin' up, her mind says maybe

Or else she's so crazy it's slavery

To begin it again, pick it up from the end

Save the pieces that never gave, never bend

Still, the whole time there's this light

It wont let her say goodnight

Some white beam of hope in the sky

Has her questioning why

Has her constantly tryin' and lyin' inside

Has her hidin' away like some potential bride

Who keeps turnin' her back like the turn of the tide



The burden of loving someone

May be better than loving no one

The burden of loving someone

May be better than loving no one



When you feel what you're feelin' with all of your might

You write down to tell and sing like hell in the night

'Bout the man on your mind when you turn out the light

Who ignited the room when invited inside

Who now is long gone and despite how forthright

Was the song you played just to show how uptight

And embarrassed he made you, your loves stay strong

Convincing words appear backwards and wrong

It just doesn't make sense to want to belong

With a guy who made you all tense and withdrawn

It shows you in the corner where the walls shadows

Silhouette the one you won't let go who hasn't arrived yet

And he won't, you know, you can just forget about him though



The burden of loving someone

May be better than loving no one

The burden of loving someone

May be better than loving no one



I'm not so sure about that, it's not matter of fact

If the world fell in half are you for it

Adoring to kick back, relax, and laugh and deplore

Cursin' all of the fools who exist to implore

Writing books cursing morons who tore

What they swore gave them reasons to be:

I love him, he loves me



And the burden of loving someone

May be better than loving no one

The burden of loving someone

May be better
