I met lonely tonight
She was sittin' at a table by a neon light
Pretending everything was gonna be just fine
I wish I could tell you what was on her mind

I met lonely tonight
He was walking down the street in the pouring rain
Trying to find someone else to blame
Wished that I would've caught his name

[Chorus]
I met lonely tonight
And I didn't know what to do
I met lonely tonight
It reminded me of you
And I know that it's not right
I didn't come here to fight
But I met lonely tonight

I met lonely tonight
She was standing by herself waitin' for the bus
Pretty sure she'd already given up
That's what made me think about us

[Chorus]

So tell me leave
When I do I lock the door
I understand you don't want me anymore

And I know that it's not right
I didn't come here to fight
But I met lonely tonight.

I met lonely tonight
I was staring in the mirror
So I closed my eyes
