Tell Franie I´m sorry she didn´t get to know her dad
I´ll bet he´s sorry he didn´t get to know you too
Tell her there´ll be people singing things that make her sad
How her daddy felt alone how he was hurtin´ bad
I guess that won´t be too far from the truth

Yeah, it´s lonely at the top
Happy is one thing it´s not.

I was jaded, suffocated, it got too hard to breath
But never got as high as I needed to be
You know life becomes worthless when they steal your dreams
I just couldn´t live with what was left for me
And I couldn´t run far enough from the truth, what´s the use

Yeah, it´s lonely at the top
Happy´s one thing it´s not

Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down
No one there can help you stop before you hit the ground
It´s lonely at the top

Oooh yeah,

Tell Franie, I´m sorry I better kiss her when she cries
I´m sorry I left her, never said good-bye
Didn´t mean to leave you all alone but then the music died
Though the song remains the same, I couldn´t live that lie
You know that ain´t too far from the truth
And you know that ain´t too far from the truth

Yeah, it´s lonely at the top
Happy´s one thing it´s not

Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down
No one there to help you stop before you hit the ground
Yeah, it´s lonely at the top
Yeah, it´s lonely at the top
It´s lonely
