Upon hearing someone else talk about being lonely at a particular point in time, it made me think of representing that gnawing feeling, but also adding a sense of hope that things will get better. But for now it's okay to just feel bad and try to comfort yourself.

Lyrics
Loneliness has got the best of me tonight
My heart and soul just ache and I
Can't seem to make it right and
Loneliness has got the best of me tonight
I need to find someone who'll
Take what's left of me tonight
Loneliness can wear you down so easily
It gets down in your bones and
It brings you to your knees and
Loneliness can almost break a man some nights
Its hard to find your strength
Then you lose your will to fight
I know I have to keep on trying
I'll keep my chin up and I'll
I'll keep my faith from dyin
I know she'll come along and save me
But my poor heart has grown so
So weary of waiting
If I endure it a little longer
I tell myself that I will
Come out so much stronger
But this old heart just don't believe it
It's heard that lie before and it's
Getting so hard to believe it
Loneliness has got the best of me tonight
My heart and soul just ache and I
Can't seem to make it right and
Loneliness has got the best of me tonight
I need to find someone who'll
Take what's left of me tonight
Take what's left of me tonight
