Why must I love a 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 noone greets 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
I hope that heaven lets me die
What good is life when hope has gone
Just call me lonesome from now on

Just call me lonesome from now on
