Tell franny I'm sorry she didn't get to know her dad
I bet he's sorry he didn't get to know you too
Tell her there'll be people saying
Things that make her sad
How her daddy felt alone how he was hurting bad
I guess that won't be too far from the truth
Yeah it's lonely at the time
Help
Is one thing it's not
I was jaded suffocated
It got too hard to breathe
I never got as high as I needed to be
You know that 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 time
Help
Is 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
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Tell franny I'm sorry
Not there to kiss her when she cries
I'm sorry I left her never said goodbye
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 time
Help
Is 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 appetite
Yet it's lonely at a time
It's lonely
