Lonely too

How can you ask me how have I been
I think you should know well the shape that I'm in
You tell me you wondered if I was ok
That's a damn fool thing to say

The water is rising the water is wide
And you're always standing on the other side
Then comes the moment I wake in the dawn
With hours to lie here alone

You seem so surprised that I'm feeling this way
How am I so lonely today
If you ever loved me the way I loved you
You would be lonely too

So here's to the lovers for old times sake
Who don't hold each other to the promise they break
And smile through the window and wave on the street
'Cause that's all you want now from me

Should I say something to put you at ease
Or should I get down on my knees
But if you ever loved me the way I love you
You would be lonely too
But if you ever loved me the way I love you
You would be lonely too
