[Verse 1]
I got an aching inside, won't let me be
I look above and ask my Lord to set me free
But there was nothing he could do because he knew
There's only loneliness on heartbreak avenue
[Verse 2]
So with each step I take I sing below
A shadow follows wherever I may go
And it's too late for now my heart is broke in two
And there's only loneliness on heartbreak avenue
[Chorus]
I cannot find no peace in my mind
I turned it away
And to my dismay I lose
I know that in time all that's left here behind
Will be here today and will find a way to you
To you
[Verse 3]
I know this thing called love you cannot possess
I tried now and failed and all I have is emptiness
And every road I take it brings me back to you
And there's only loneliness on heartbreak avenue
[Chorus]
I cannot find no peace in my mind
I turned it away
And to my dismay I lose
I know that in time all that's left here behind
Will be here to stay and will find a way to you
To you
[Verse 4]
I'm getting good at this thing called solitude
Well hang around for now you know I may improve
First I see red, then green, and last it's blue
And there's only loneliness on heartbreak avenue
There's only loneliness on heartbreak avenue
