when you're lonely

i almost didn't answer

when i saw your number

don't you know it's 2:18 in the middle of the night

did you fight with your girlfriend

could you not sleep

did a strong shot of whiskey leave you feeling weak?

you only want me when you're lonely

you only call me when you're down

you only want me when you're lonely

but you can't have me now

i don't know what you expected

did you think i'd let you

somehow get the best of me

with some pretty little lies?

i've made that mistake

i've let you crawl back in

now i don't have the heart to fall for you again

you only want me when you're lonely

you only call me when you're down

you only want me when you're lonely

but you can't have me now

don't tell me you love me

don't say all the right things

you're having one of those nights

and i know what that means

so

you want me right now

but nothings really changed

you're just by yourself

and it's late

too late

you only want me when you're lonely

you only call me when you're down

you only want me when you're lonely

but you can't have me now

you only want me when you're lonely

but you can't have me now

you only want me when you're lonely

but you can't have me now

you only want me when you're lonely

but you can't have me now
