Lyrics

You never seem to notice me

You don't acknowledge my presence or efforts.

You never seem to like the things I do

You don't appreciate the things I do.

So why don't you just let it be

Suggesting to leave things as they are, implying resignation.

I just cant take the sympathy from you

I can't handle your insincere concern or pity.

You always keep me hanging on

You consistently keep me in a state of uncertainty or dependence.

You put me down

You belittle or criticize me.

You always say you don't want me hanging round you

You express a desire for me not to be around you.

Cant you see that I don't know just what it is that I'm supposed to do

I'm unsure about how to act or what's expected of me.

The way you always laugh at me

Your laughter is often at my expense, showing lack of concern.

You know you never really seem to care

You don't seem to genuinely care about me.

You always seem to disagree

We frequently have conflicting opinions.

You never seem to notice that I'm there

You don't notice my presence or involvement.

You lead me on and lead me on and push me back

You tease, manipulate, and then reject me.

You know no matter what you do I'll still come back to you

No matter your actions, I continue to return to you.

Cant you see that I don't know just what it is that I'm supposed to do

I'm uncertain about what I should do in this situation.

You'll be lonely tonight

You will experience loneliness tonight.

And then maybe you'll see

Maybe then you'll realize.

When you turn out the light

When you're alone, you might think of me.

Could it be that you might just be thinking of me

Possibility of you needing my presence in your thoughts.

You'll be needing me then

You might desire my return at that moment.

Want me back again

You'll want me back again.

You'll be lonely tonight

You will experience loneliness tonight.

You'll be lonely tonight

-

I stood around between the lines of happy times I thought of me and you

Reflecting on happier moments between us.

Cause in your eyes you criticise you hide behind a thin disguise

You criticize me while hiding your true feelings.

Put up with so many lies, sympathy and analyse

You endure lies, false sympathy, and over-analysis.

You never seem to notice me you never seem to like the things I do

Repetition of feeling unnoticed and unappreciated.

So why don't you just let it be

Reiterating the suggestion to let things be.

I just cant take the sympathy from you

Emphasizing the difficulty in accepting insincere sympathy.

You always keep me hanging on

You consistently maintain my dependence on you.

You put me down

You criticize or undermine me.

You always say you don't want me hanging round you

You express a desire for distance from me.

Cant you see that I don't know just what it is that I'm supposed to do

Emphasizing uncertainty about what to do in this situation.

You'll be lonely tonight...

You will experience loneliness tonight...

You'll be lonely tonight

You will experience loneliness tonight.

You'll be lonely tonight
