When I'm Lonely

Eyes like an infant 
Staring me down 
She'll take anything that's tied up 
In my glorious past 

It's just 4 days ¡®til Sunday 
When I say that I'm gone 
Little one screams you cry 
Tell the pain to leave me alone 

It's just 2 days ¡®til Monday 
Another week ¡®til the 4th 
Is anyone listening or 
Should I call on the Lord 

Sometimes I breathe 
Sometimes I see 
Then I dream a dream that won't come true 
And I struggle with lies when I'm lonely 

Someone called my name out loud about 4 a.m. 
It wasn't you so I let her in 
Just to see what she wanted 
She left screaming because I called her by your name 
But the next day she came to call 
And we finished our game 

Alright now 
Some days I breathe 
Some days I see 
Then I dream a dream that won't come true 
And I struggle with time when I'm lonely 

Shep plays piano down in 
Shandon on the other side of Rosewood 
You said he wasn't your type 
But you went anyway 
You left screamin' cause you thought you would 
Call him by my name 
Ah and you whisper 
Why do I do this 
I can't go through this why do I do this, why 

Sometimes I breathe 
Sometimes I see 
Then I dream a dream that won't come true 
And I struggle with life when I'm lonely
