I don't want to keep on walking alone,
and I'm tired of reaching out and you say 'just move on.'
Am I not, what you want me to be?
Have you set expectations too high for me?

I've got my bridges, burning bright,
Old memories yearning, night after night.
Love chose a bad one, my biggest mistake,
I'm gonna leave and hope the healing will take.

Lord have mercy on this broken heart,
and forgive her for tearing, me apart.
Oh, these lonely nights, well, I've seen quite a few,
through it all I wouldn't wish them on you.

It's time to lift, this world off of me,
Break the chains and set, old ghosts free.
Live and love, teach and learn.
Win some, lose some, burn and get burned.

Lord have mercy on this broken heart,
and forgive her for tearing, me apart.
Oh, these lonely nights, well, I've seen quite a few,
through it all I wouldn't wish them on you.

These lonely nights....
I'm talking about... yeah,
All these lonely nights, these lonely nights.
Oooo, All, these lonely nights, oh, yeah
