Bon Jovi & Jon Bon Jovi - Lonely At The Top lyrics

rate me

(written by: Vedran Devcic)

Tell Frannie I'm sorry she didn't get to know her dad

I'll bet he's sorry he didn't get to know you too

Tell her there'll be people saying things that make her sad

How her daddy felt alone, how he was hurtin' bad

I guess that won't be too far from the truth

Chorus:

Yeah, it's lonely at the top

Happy is one thing it's not

I was jaded, suffocated; it got too hard to breathe

But never got as high as I needed to be

You know life becomes worthless when they steal your dreams

I just couldn't live with what was left for me

And I couldn't run far enough from the truth - what's the use?

Chorus:

Yeah, it's lonely at the top

Happy is one thing it's not

Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down

No one there can help you stop before you hit the ground

It's lonely at the top

Tell Frannie I'm sorry - I better kiss her when she cries

I'm sorry I left her, never said goodbye

Didn't mean to leave you all alone but then the music died

Though the song remains the same, I couldn't live that lie

You know that ain't too far from the truth

And you know that ain't too far from the truth

Chorus:

Yeah, it's lonely at the top

Happy's one thing it's not

Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down

No one there to help you stop before you hit the ground

Yeah, it's lonely at the top

Yeah, it's lonely at the top
