I see you in his arms
And it hurts like a crime
Even though it’s just in my mind

I hear you are away
And I wonder where you are
Even though it’s just wasted time

I’m jealous of your husband
And the nest you live in
Even though I know it ain’t love

I wonder who you kiss
When you’re out of the house
Even when I’m in someone else’s arms

I feel lonely and it hurts to the bone
It’s gonna blow my mind away
I feel lonely and it pushes me to the ground
I’m gonna stand it anyway

I see your world as rich
And beautiful and warm
Even though I know it's just a cage

I see my world as poor
And ugly and cold
Even though I know it’s liberty

I feel lonely and it hurts to the bone
It’s gonna blow my mind away
I feel lonely and it pushes me to the ground
I’m gonna stand it anyway

People celebrating together New Year’s Eve
Everybody’s happy and bright
I know I gotta build up my own human league
Feels like the first day of my life

I miss you late at night
When I’m parking my old car
Within eyeshot of your bedroom

I wonder what went wrong
And why we had to fall apart
I know the answer but it doesn’t feel good

I feel lonely and it hurts to the bone
It’s gonna blow my mind away
I feel lonely and it pushes me to the ground
I’m gonna stand it anyway

People celebrating together New Year’s Eve
Everybody’s happy and bright
I know I gotta build up my own human league
Feels like the first day of my life

People celebrating together New Year’s Eve
Everybody’s happy and bright
I know I wanna build up my own human league
This is the first day of my life
