  • Husband don't know what he's done
    Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
    She can't say, they can't see
    Putting it down to another bad day
    Daddy don't know what he's done
    Kids don't know what's wrong with mum

    So this is how it feels to be lonely
    This is how it feels to be small
    This is how it feels when your word means nothing at all

    Black car drives through the town
    Some guy from the top estate
    Left a note for a local girl
    And yet he had it all on a plate

    So this is how it feels to be lonely (feels to be lonely)
    This is how it feels to be small (feels to be small)
    This is how it feels when your word means nothing at all

    Husband don't know what he's done
    Kids don't know what's wrong with mum
    She can't say, they can't see
    Putting it down to another bad day

    So this is how it feels to be lonely (feels to be lonely)
    This is how it feels to be small (feels to be small)
    This is how it feels when your word means nothing at all

    So this is how it feels to be lonely (feels to be lonely)
    This is how it feels to be small (feels to be small)
    This is how it feels when your word means nothing at all

    Nothing at all
