Lyrics
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
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
