Lonely But Only for You
Longing Echoes: Missing the Love We Shared
Lyrics
My friends set me up with someone
Friends have arranged a date for the speaker.
They know I'll just love, they say
Friends believe the speaker will love the arranged person.
Oh, he's just your type, he's just the right one
The arranged person is described as the right type to lift the speaker's spirits.
To chase your blues away
The arranged person is expected to help overcome the speaker's sadness.
Friends are such good arrangers
Friends are skilled at organizing things.
But I'm not in the mood for strangers
The speaker, despite the arrangement, is not open to meeting new people.
Honey, I'm lonely but only for you
The speaker is lonely but only for a specific person.
I'm only lonely for all the things we used to do
The speaker misses the activities they used to do with the specific person.
Hey, I can function quite well, hey, you can hardly tell
The speaker can function well outwardly despite feeling lonely.
That I'm lonely but only for you
The loneliness is solely related to the absence of the specific person.
Yes, I'm lonely but only for you
Reiteration of being lonely only for the specific person.
Now I miss the love the touch
The speaker misses the love and physical touch they shared.
That melted night into dawn
The memories of love lingered until dawn.
Oh, I miss the talks, I miss that shoulder
The speaker misses conversations and the supportive presence of the specific person.
I know I could lean on, it's the same old story
The specific person was someone the speaker could lean on.
No one else does anything for me
No one else fulfills the speaker's needs like the specific person.
Honey, I'm lonely but only for you
Loneliness is exclusive to the absence of the specific person.
I'm only lonely for all the things we used to do
The speaker longs for the shared experiences with the specific person.
Hey, I can function quite well, hey, you can hardly tell
The speaker appears normal outwardly despite the internal loneliness.
That I'm lonely but only for you
Emphasis on loneliness only being for the specific person.
Yes, I'm lonely but only for you
Reiteration of the speaker's exclusive loneliness for the specific person.
I'm so lonely but only for you
The speaker is intensely lonely, but this feeling is reserved for the specific person.
