How can you love someone
If you think that you´re no one
When you mistreat yourself,
and think it´s all you deserve
Cause it´s so hard to care
Is this or is it loneliness?

How can you demand respect - when you have no respect?
When you abuse your body, never mind your mind
And you´re your own worst victim
There´ll be no love just loneliness

Why do you force a smile - when you know all the while
That you´re burning inside, but don´t want no one to know
The hell that you´re in
As love turns to loneliness

How can you sleep at night?
When you know it´s not alright
When you wake up in the morning, nothin´ has changed
If you do nothin´ about it
Love becomes loneliness
Love vs loneliness, love vs loneliness

And when you´re down and you think you need something
The temptations so hard to resist
But what you grab sure ain´t what you needed
That´s not love it´s loneliness
And when you´re lonely and think you need someone
The plot a painful twist
There ain´t no one that can make you feel like someone
Only you can cure loneliness

How can you be confident when you´re all wrong with it
When you know what you´re doing and you´re doing it wrong
It´s no misunderstanding
This ain´t love this is loneliness
How can you love someone - if you think that you´re no one?
