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 wonder if I was okay Well 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
And then comes the moment I wake in the dawn With hours to lie here alone
And you seem so surprised that I'm feeling this way How am I so lonely today
If you ever loved me the way I love you You would be lonely too
So here's to the lovers for old time's 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
If you ever loved me the way I loved you You would be lonely too
If you ever loved me the way I loved you You would be lonely too
If you ever loved me the way I loved you You would be lonely too
