Lonely Alone Lyrics

I used to be quite happy
just letting my life drift by
it's not until you're in love
that you know you're going to die
Even at its happiest
there is a sadness to love
knowing one of you will go
before the other one does

(chorus)
Life can be lonely
Sometimes you'll be lonely too
You think it's only
you who feels lonely like you
But so many people I know
are scared of being on their own
You're never going to be lonely alone
Love is a solitary thing
All that anyone can do
is feel around in the dark
and hope that they catch hold of you
I don't want to be alone
with all the thoughts in my head
just watching ??? walk around
in a self-service launderette
(chorus)

It's funny how small life can be
when you're in love with somebody
and nothing that ?????
can ever take the place of love

(chorus)
