There’s a place I always go where every night’s the same
When I walk in the lights are dim so I don’t feel the shame
The faded lights will hide the tears that fall so constantly
And all the people in the place are lonesome just like me

Among those faded lights and lonesome people
Their love affairs have ended much too soon
Among those faded lights and lonesome people
You’ll find a broken heart in every corner of the room

You’ll hear the sound of laughter as you walk across the floor
But it’s just too hard to hide the loneliness they can’t bear no more
And as the music fills the room you sit and wonder why
Some people’s hearts are broken and some people talk to cry

Among those faded lights and lonesome people
Their love affairs have ended much too soon
Among those faded lights and lonesome people
You’ll find a broken heart in every corner of the room
