[Verse 1]

Well, I want to be alone tonight

But not all by myself

And I want to take the world on single-handedly

I might just need some help

[Chorus]

There's a difference in being alone and being lonely

Alone is when the world leaves you behind

There's a difference in being alone and being lonely

Lonely is just a state of mind

[Verse 2]

Well, I can see the news about you now

Man dies choking on his pride

And I want to be left out in the rain tonight

So let me come inside

[Chorus]

There's a difference in being alone and being lonely

Alone is when the world leaves you behind

There's a difference in being alone and being lonely

Lonely is just a state of mind

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

There's a difference in being alone and being lonely

Alone is when the world leaves you behind

There's a difference in being alone and being lonely

Lonely is just a state of mind

[Verse 3]

Well, I want to speak my mind tonight

So tell me how I feel

And I want to drive the way back home

So come and take the wheel

[Chorus]

There's a difference in being alone and being lonely

Alone is when the world leaves you behind

There's a difference in being alone and being lonely

Lonely is just a state of mind

Lonely is just a state of mind

Lonely is just a state of mind
