Why must I love the heartless one who'll never know the harm she's done Though love is blind I should have known just call me lonesome from now on I climb the stairs up to my room but no one meets me in my gloom The silence tells me she is gone just call me lonesome from now on [ guitar ] These walls will hide me when I cry and hope that heaven lets me die What good is life when hope is gone just call me lonesome from now on I pray my memories at last will fade into the distant past If I must live and love alone just call me lonesome from now on
