[Verse 1]
Miles and miles of space between
The black and white of you and me
The silver line on the other side
Lost it shine when I took the ride
You can see right through these eyes
What I feel for you, I can't disguise

[Chorus]
I thought I'd be happy being alone
But I'm lonely
I thought I'd be better on my own now
I'm sorry, you told me
I would come on and beg to you again
Than regret everything that I did
I thought I'd be happy being alone
But I'm lonely, I'm lonely

[Verse 2]
Empty rooms and bad mistakes
Message learned way too late
How to change what I begun
Choices made, the damage done
See it leaving on my face
What I feel for you I can't replace

[Chorus][x2]

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
