Lonely Enough
Yearning for Redemption: A Soul's Plea in Little Big Town's 'Lonely Enough'
Lyrics
It's been a long time since I prayed
Expressing the passage of time since the last prayer.
Let the words fall where they may
Openness to accept the consequences of speaking candidly.
Forgive me now for what I'm about say
Seeking forgiveness for forthcoming words.
Tired of being on my knees
Frustration with being in a vulnerable position.
Sick of begging you please
Weary of pleading or asking for mercy.
Since the day you took him away from me
Reflecting on the emotional pain since a loved one was taken away.
God, now how much more do I have to hurt?
Questioning the extent of personal suffering and pain.
How far down do you wanna see me go, tell me
Asking how much more suffering is expected.
God, you don't know the sadness of this place
Expressing a sense of abandonment and isolation.
You've got the angels and the saints
Addressing the divine entities with power and authority.
So give me back my love, love
Pleading for the return of lost love.
Don't you think I'm lone, lonely enough?
Expressing a profound sense of loneliness.
You've got the power in your hands
Highlighting the divine ability to influence destiny.
To change the master plan
Calling for a change in the predetermined course of life.
Every star and every grain of sand
Emphasizing the divine control over every aspect of existence.
You can bring him back today
Pleading for the restoration of a lost relationship.
Just roll the stone away
Using religious imagery, urging for intervention before it's too late.
Before there's nothing left of me to save
Fearing the irreversible loss of self.
God, now how much more do I have to hurt?
Reiterating the plea for an end to personal suffering.
How far down do you wanna see me go, tell me?
Asking for a limit to the depth of despair.
God, you don't know the sadness of this place
Conveying the profound sadness of the current emotional state.
You've got the angels and the saints
Acknowledging the presence of divine entities.
So give me back my love, love
Repeating the plea for the return of lost love.
Don't you think I'm lone, lonely enough?
Expressing the intensity of loneliness.
God, now how much more do I have to hurt?
Continuing to question the necessity of ongoing pain.
How far down do you wanna see me go, tell me?
Reiterating the plea for an end to personal suffering.
God, you don't know the sadness of this place
Reaffirming the profound sadness and seeking divine intervention.
Show me amazing grace
Pleading for divine mercy and grace.
And give me back my love, love
Repeating the plea for the return of lost love with added emphasis on grace.
Don't you think I'm lone, lonely enough?
Expressing the ongoing intensity of loneliness.
Won't you give me back my love, love?
Reiterating the plea for the return of lost love.
Don't you think I'm lone, lonely enough?
Stressing the overwhelming sense of loneliness.
Don't you think I'm lone, lonely enough?
Final plea for understanding the depth of personal loneliness.
