only a lonely heart knows lyrics

Life holds no fascination
Without you here with me
Each hour's eternity

And friends are small consolation
Talk doesn't ease the pain
The hurt can't be explained

Only a lonely heart knows
How the memory cuts like a knife
Since you walked out of my life
I'm half crazy day and night

And only a lonely heart knows
How the heartache, it grows and grows
Oh, how long does it take till the heartache goes?
Only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows

Time is a friend and an enemy
In time the hurt might end
Till then the walls close in

I'm so lost, I'm numbed by your leaving me
I sit alone and stare
You don't know till you've been there

And only a lonely heart knows
How the memory cuts like a knife
Since you walked out of my life
I'm half crazy day and night

And only a lonely heart knows
How the heartache, it grows and grows
Oh, how long does it take till the heartache goes?
Only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows

Tell me how long does it take till the heartache goes?
Only a lonely, only a lonely
Yes, only a lonely, only a lonely heart knows
