Why must I love the heartless one
Who'll never know the harm she's done
Though love is blind I should have known
Just call me lonesome from now on

I climb the stairs up to my room
But no one meets me in my gloom
The silence tells me she is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on
[ violin ]
These walls will hide me when I cry
And hope that heaven lets me die
What good is life when hope is gone
Just call me lonesome from now on
