call me anything but lonely
throw a stone, disown me
let them know i'll never ever be the same

'cause they all head on home in the morning
get on gone when it's storming
let them know i'll never kiss it all away

when the morning sun comes
you'll know i didn't run
'cause when the rain came
it still never changed
through the laughter and the tears
the pain and my fears
i'll stay, i'll wait right here
la, da, da ...

these scars upon my sleeve
won't get the best of me
you've had yours and i've had my own defeats
this heart upon your sleeve
i'll tread gently
i won't rush in and run away on a breeze
