Lonely Holiday Lyrics


Old 97's Lonely Holiday

It was a lonely holiday
I was alone, you were away
In Fayetteville or in another state
There's so many towns I hate

When you leave me, it breaks me like a bone
But it's never as bad as when you come home
I've thought so much about suicide
Parts of me have already died

Lonely, baby I'm not lonely
Baby I'm not, I've got my imaginary friends
Happy, baby I'm so happy
Baby I'm so, I've got my imaginary friends
And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?

It was a lonely holiday
I was alone, I was afraid
The bedroom walls were closing in
It must be closing time again

When you leave me, it breaks me like the note
That you said got stuck in your throat
I've thought so much about suicide
Parts of me have already died

Lonely, baby I'm not lonely
Baby I'm not, I've got my imaginary friends
Happy, baby I'm so happy
Baby I'm so, I've got my imaginary friends
And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?

Lonely, baby I'm not lonely
Baby I'm not, I've got my imaginary friends
Happy, baby I'm so happy
Baby I'm so, I've got my imaginary friends
And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?
And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?
