C#
it’s not your eyes
G# C#
it’s not what you say
A#m
it’s not your laughter that gives you away
F#
you’re just lonely
G#
you’ve been lonely , too long

C# G# C#

all your actin’
your thin disguise
all your perfectly delivered lies
they don’t fool me
you’ve been lonely , too long

chorus :
F# A#m
let me in the wall , you’ve built around
G# A#m
and we can light a match and burn it down
F# A#m
let me hold your hand and dance ’round and ’round the flame
G#
in front of us
dust to . . .

you’ve held your head up
you’ve fought the fight
you bear the scars
you’ve done your time
listen to me –
you’ve been lonely , too long

chorus :
let me in the wall , you’ve built around
and we can light a match and burn them down
and let me hold your hand and dance ’round and ’round the flames
in front of us
dust to dust . . .

you’re like a mirror , reflecting me
takes one to know one , so take it from me
you’ve been lonely
you’ve been lonely , too long
we’ve been lonely
we’ve been lonely , too long
