She crawls in beside him
And stares at the wall
The writing's already there
Has a pain in the stomach
A hole in her soul
And nothing between them were left

She gonna have to face life on her own
She lungs for the warmth of his touch
But he's right there beside her
But there's nobody home
And that's the difference between lonely and being alone
That's the difference between lonely and being alone

She used to feel sorry
For all other girls
That spent Friday nights by themselves
Lord now she knows better
That there's nothin' worse
Than being lonely with somebody else

All she can do now
Is pack up and go
And see who she is without him
'Cause if she never leaves him
Then she'll never know
The difference between lonely and being alone

Someday she'll be singing
When she drives alone
And she won't feel the tears
When she hears their old song

When the night falls and lands soft
When no one but her
She won't miss a sound of his voice
She'll wear the quiet like an old flannel robe
And that's the difference between lonely and being alone
That's the difference between lonely and being alone
