lyrics

Verse 1

I have a story to tell
About a life lived in hell
About the loneliest Man
Who sings the loneliest song

He has a journey ahead
But he’s not started it yet
Has the loneliest man
Who sings the loneliest song

I have a story to tell
About a love lived in jail
Is it me, is it you?
Or any other poor fool

Bridge 1

Who never opened thier eye
To look for the truth that’s inside
They’re just happy to live all their lies
And they never see the light

Verse 2

I’ll take you right from the start
His life had fallen apart
Had the loneliest man
Who sings the loneliest song

He has a Journey ahead
But he’s not on it yet
Is he me, is he you?
Or any other poor fool

Bridge 2

Who never opened their eye
To look for the truth that’s inside
They’re just happy to live all thier lies
And they never see the light.

Chorus

(Songs from the suburbs)
Let me sing you a song
(Songs from the suburbs)
Will you all sing along?
(Songs from the suburbs)
Sing the loneliest song
In the loneliest world

(Songs from the suburbs)
Theres a journey ahead
(Songs from the surburbs)
But he’s not started it yet
(Songs from the suburbs)
Has the loneliest soul
In the loneliest world
