lyrics

The roommates got a sister
He’s always wanted to kiss her
But the boyfriend always takes her home
It’s getting hard to resister her
His tongue is full of blisters
Because he says everything wrong

CHORUS
Lonely in the night
Yeah Lonely be the night
He rubs his battle scars
Cuz there’s no love in his arms
Lonely in the night

Working 80 hours
His growing family his a problem
He’d rather drive then go on home
She tries to get him to open
But their distant and their broken
Just like people warned her long ago

Chorus
Lonely in the night
Yeah, lonely be the night
She rubs her battle scars
Cuz there’s no love in her arms
Lonely in the night

A girl in the Windy City
She’s sitting awful pretty
With a laptop on the edge of her bed
She’s posing for another
Who’s doing stuff beneath the covers
She’s pretending she’s in love again

Chorus
Lonely in the night
Yeah, lonely be the night
We rub our battle scars
Cuz there’s no love in our arms
Lonely in the night

Bullied awkward teens
They simple wants to scream
Their lonely in the night

Crying pregnant mother
Father’s with another lover
She’s lonely in the night

You want to cut your wrists wide open
There’s a better world your hoping
We’re lonely in the night

But when you find true love
You never let go of that hug
So you never have to be lonely in the night
