[Intro]
Let's talk about loneliness
You know sometimes it can fool you
Into believing you're on top of the world
No one can top you or stop you
And everything you've ever wanted
Is right at your fingertips
But, as always
Reality steps in and shocks you
Right back into the present
And all you can do is ask yourself over and over
Why?
What happened to the love that brought us both
So much joy and happiness?
Oh hey, I know things change
People change
But this hurts
I mean it really hurts
I guess it all boils down to the fact
That we never really knew each other anyway, huh?
Yeah, I know
Say, say, wait a minute, let me tell exactly how I feel, ok?

[Verse 1]
Today I am just a lonely man
But tomorrow I'll be a king
Blessing all my subjects
Cast afar and securities
The whole wide world will watch me
As I walk up to my throne
Nights in shining armor
Stand around to heed my call
