Ask the Lonely
Yearning Hearts: Embracing the Pain of Lost Love in Michael Henderson's 'Ask the Lonely'
Lyrics
Just ask the lonely
Seek advice from those who have experienced loneliness
When you feel that need
When you feel the desire or necessity
To make it all alone,
To face life's challenges on your own
Remember no one is thinking of,
Be aware that nobody is considering
Going alone
The idea of going through difficulties alone
Just ask the lonely
Consult those who have experienced loneliness
They know the hurt and pain,
They understand the emotional pain
Of losing a love, you can never regain
That comes with losing a love that can't be recovered
Just ask the lonely
Repeat of line 8, emphasizing seeking advice from the lonely
Just ask the lonely
Emphasizes once again the importance of seeking advice from the lonely
The young and foolish laugh at love (Woo hoo)
Youthful and naive individuals mock love
So they run away (Woo hoo hoo hoo)
They escape from love, overconfident that fate will provide another
Confident and sure that fate (Woo hoo)
Belief that destiny will bring a new love into their lives
Will bring another love their way
But the reality is different
(Ah) But ask the lonely
Reiterates the advice to ask the lonely for insights
(Ah) How vainly a heart can yearn,
Expresses how a heart can desperately long for a lost love
(Ah) For losing a love that will never return
Highlights the pain of losing a love that won't come back
Just ask the lonely
Repeats the counsel to seek guidance from those who know loneliness
Just ask the lonely
Emphasizes the importance of asking the lonely
They'll tell you
They will share their experiences
Ooh, Woo hoo hoo hoo ooh
Exclamation expressing emotions related to loneliness
(Ah) They'll tell you a story of sadness,
They will narrate a tale of sorrow
(Ah) A story too hard to believe
Describes the difficulty of believing their story
Ah, they'll tell you the loneliest one is me
Asserts that the storyteller is the loneliest one
Just ask the lonely
Reiterates the advice to ask those who have experienced loneliness
Just ask the lonely
Emphasizes again the importance of seeking advice from the lonely
Ask me
Invites the listener to ask the singer, claiming to be the loneliest
I'm the loneliest one you'll see
Declares the singer as the loneliest person
Just ask the lonely
Reiteration of the advice to ask those who are lonely
