Alone and Lonely

A collaboration of inspiration from Mud, Dusty Springfield and the Salvation Army Christmas advertisement.
Random but true.
If you're interested, I say it in 3/4 time. I've a tune but not the notes (that doesn't make sense. Unless you understand. In which case it does.)
As you were.

I would write you a letter,
But you would not reply,
I know half a dozen roses,
Wouldn't catch your eye,

I'd write you a love song,
With words meant just for you,
But you're not for me,
And there's nothing I can do,

There's a difference between alone and lonely,
When the one who is your one and only,
Lies in another's arms, safe from your charms,
And you miss him, all alone and so lonely,

I could save up all my kisses,
They'd never see the light,
I'd wait for you in dreams,
But you'd fail me every night,

I could paint you a picture,
Just to say that I love you,
But you took my heart,
And you broke it in two,

There's a difference between alone and lonely,
When the one who is your one and only,
Lies in another's arms, safe from your charms,
And you miss him, all alone and so lonely,

When it's cold, in the rain,
And I'm there once again,
The streetlights shining above,
See the light, hear the phone,
So I know you're at home,
I'm just playing the fool in love,

There's a difference between alone and lonely,
When the one who is your one and only,
Lies in another's arms, safe from your charms,
And you miss him, all alone and so lonely,

Wow can't believe I missed this, actually really love it! Nice structure too, and really clever idea!

Thanks, Robber
I'd love to take credit for the structure but it's so Dusty Springfield that I can almost hear her singing it!!

Well, you have to have inspiration
Oh no, I accidentally pressed the button that turns everything Latin…

To somnium est credere?

Credere est sentire

Verum sit.

Assentior.

Gaudeo.

Ego tristis.

This is really good I love the structure and all the rhymes you use ^.^ It's very emotional and can relate to so many people in this world. Simple to understand too

you obviously suffer from depression seek help!!!!!!!!

Hahahaha! No, mate, I do NOT suffer from depression. Never have and never will. I'm just capturing an emotion in a song. And it is not particularly emotional in comparison to other love songs that have been written and released. Therefore, I shall not seek help.
But thanks very much for your concern

no worries dude i was just making a joke. the emotion definitely comes through and the rhyme scheme works really well. apart from a little wordiness in the chorus, i think this has great potential.
good job

Wow this is really awesome

This is very emotional and sad but I like it. Good job!

Thanks guys Glad you liked it!

Wow, everyone's getting so serious on the song I'm glad you like it! And I agree, self-pity is NOT the answer and I'd despise myself for doing so, as there are so many other things that could go wrong in your life. But, it's a good emotion to use. Well, 'good' not quite being the best word to use there...

Me gusta!

Ha ha, thanks, Eams!
