Old 97s - Lonely Holiday lyrics

rate me

It was a lonely holiday

I was alone -- you were away

In Fayetteville or in another state

There's so many towns I hate

When you leave me, it breaks me like a bone

But it's never as bad as when you come home

Thought so much about suicide

Parts of me have already died

CHORUS:

Lonely -- baby I'm not lonely

Baby I'm not -- I've got my imaginary friends

Happy -- baby I'm so happy

Baby I'm so -- I've got my imaginary friends

And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?

It was a lonely holiday

I was alone -- I was afraid

The bedroom walls were closing in

It must be closing time again

When you leave me, it breaks me like the note

That you said got stuck in your throat

Thought so much about suicide

Parts of me have already died

CHORUS
