matt vinson, matte o'brien - lonely lyrics

[anne]
i watched the other little girls
the ones with waterfalls of curls
one by one, they’d leave
with brand new parents of their own
i’d sit and wonder what was wrong
there must be someplace i belong
but years would come, and years would go
and i’d be left there all alone
how was i to know?
you don’t know you’re ugly
until someone tells you so
how could i be
that something you wanted to see
do you know what it’s like to be lonely?
do you know what it’s like to be alone?
i know what it’s like to be lonely
on my own
only ever on my own
beauty is as beauty does
i don’t believe that’s true
because i’ve seen it, i’ve lived it
beauty always wins
i’ve lived in dreams best i could
i tried to be so smart and good
but none of that matters
once the choosing begins
why can’t you see?
whatever beauty means to you
it’s meant something else to me
don’t you know what it’s like to be lonely?
don’t you know what it’s like to be alone?
i know what it’s like to be lonely
on my own
only ever on my own!
everyday i’d whisper, “please choose me!”
everyday, they’d pass me by!
now look at me, still desperate to be chosen!
why?
marilla, why?
you don’t know
what it’s like to be lonely!
no, i don’t think you know
what it’s like to be alone!
but i know
what it’s like to be only
on my own
only ever on my own
i listened; i learned
the lessons of my youth
the world adores the beautiful
the world rewards the beautiful
and that’s the ugly truth
