Ask the Lonely

Written by Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain

Performed by Journey

You've been picked and it's over
What's that chip on your shoulder
Outside, were solid rainbows
Inside, is where the heart grows

Picking up the pieces
Something more to believe in
As you search the embers
Think what you had, remember

Hang on, don't go let go now
You know, with every heartbeat
We love, nothing comes easy
Hang on, ask the lonely

You've got some fascination
With your high expectations
This love is your obsession
Your heart, your past possession

Let down your defenses
Won't be up to the one who cares
As you search the embers
Think what you had, remember

Hang on, don't go let go now
You know, with every heartbeat
We love, nothing comes easy
Hang on, ask the lonely

When you're feeling love's unfair, you just ask the lonely
When you're lost in deep despair, you just ask the lonely

When you're feeling love's unfair, you just ask the lonely
When you're lost in deep despair, you just ask the lonely
When you're feeling love's unfair, (you) you just ask the lonely
When you're lost in deep despair, (you) you just ask the lonely

Ask the lonely

When you're down in deep despair
When you're down in deep despair
Ask the lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone lonely
Lone-lone-lone lonely
Lonely
