(albert hammond, diane warren) Really thought that i could live without you Really thought that i could make it on my own Sent you away yeah i said i didn't need you I let you go i let you go i let you go Now i'm so lost without you Now you're not here and now i know (chorus) Lonely is the night when i'm not with you Lonely is the night ain't no light shining through Till you're in my arms till you're here by my side Lonely am i Never thought that i that i would need you Never thought that i that i'd be missing you Gotta get you back I just got to find a way now To let you know to let you know to let you know That i'm so lost without you And now this world it ain't just right (repeat chorus) I can make it through the day I can fake it okay I just smile and pretend And i tell myself i'll be alright But lonely is the night Lonely is the night (repeat chorus)
