Jaymay – Lonely Men Built Lonely Cities lyrics
Lonely men built lonely cities
She worked hard until she was beautiful
Still he noticed nothing unusual, this was his way
He's gonna stay devoted to the project
And she's committed herself to not caring anymore
Her heart wasn't sore, she was sure she had cured
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
She's lookin' up, her mind says maybe
Or else she's so crazy it's slavery
To begin it again, pick it up from the end
Save the pieces that never gave, never bend
Still, the whole time there's this light
It wont let her say goodnight
Some white beam of hope in the sky
Has her questioning why
Has her constantly tryin' and lyin' inside
Has her hidin' away like some potential bride
Who keeps turnin' her back like the turn of the tide
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
When you feel what you're feelin' with all of your might
You write down to tell and sing like hell in the night
'Bout the man on your mind when you turn out the light
Who ignited the room when invited inside
Who now is long gone and despite how forthright
Was the song you played just to show how uptight
And embarrassed he made you, your loves stay strong
Convincing words appear backwards and wrong
It just doesn't make sense to want to belong
With a guy who made you all tense and withdrawn
It shows you in the corner where the walls shadows
Silhouette the one you won't let go who hasn't arrived yet
And he won't, you know, you can just forget about him though
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
I'm not so sure about that, it's not matter of fact
If the world fell in half are you for it
Adoring to kick back, relax, and laugh and deplore
Cursin' all of the fools who exist to implore
Writing books cursing morons who tore
What they swore gave them reasons to be:
I love him, he loves me
And the burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone
May be better
She worked hard until she was beautiful
Still he noticed nothing unusual, this was his way
He's gonna stay devoted to the project
And she's committed herself to not caring anymore
Her heart wasn't sore, she was sure she had cured
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
She's lookin' up, her mind says maybe
Or else she's so crazy it's slavery
To begin it again, pick it up from the end
Save the pieces that never gave, never bend
Still, the whole time there's this light
It wont let her say goodnight
Some white beam of hope in the sky
Has her questioning why
Has her constantly tryin' and lyin' inside
Has her hidin' away like some potential bride
Who keeps turnin' her back like the turn of the tide
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
When you feel what you're feelin' with all of your might
You write down to tell and sing like hell in the night
'Bout the man on your mind when you turn out the light
Who ignited the room when invited inside
Who now is long gone and despite how forthright
Was the song you played just to show how uptight
And embarrassed he made you, your loves stay strong
Convincing words appear backwards and wrong
It just doesn't make sense to want to belong
With a guy who made you all tense and withdrawn
It shows you in the corner where the walls shadows
Silhouette the one you won't let go who hasn't arrived yet
And he won't, you know, you can just forget about him though
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
I'm not so sure about that, it's not matter of fact
If the world fell in half are you for it
Adoring to kick back, relax, and laugh and deplore
Cursin' all of the fools who exist to implore

And the burden of loving someone
May be better than loving no one
The burden of loving someone
May be better
