Old 97's - Lonely Holiday Lyrics






It was a lonely holiday
I was alone - you were away
In Fayetteville or in another state
There's so many towns I hate

When you leave me, it breaks me like a bone
But it's never as bad as when you come home
Thought so much about suicide
Parts of me have already died

[Chorus:]
Lonely - baby I'm not lonely
Baby I'm not - I've got my imaginary friends
Happy - baby I'm so happy
Baby I'm so - I've got my imaginary friends
And if you don't love me, would you please pretend?

It was a lonely holiday
I was alone - I was afraid
The bedroom walls were closing in
It must be closing time again

When you leave me, it breaks me like the note
That you said got stuck in your throat
Thought so much about suicide
Parts of me have already died

[Chorus]

Old 97's Lonely Holiday Comments
  1. P.... W....

    Fantastic song. Some of the comments here, however, are just awful. So many sick trolls lurking out there in this age of Trump.

  2. b.... a....

    A great take on relationships on the decline

  3. T.... H....

    every morning I awake I swear suicide is the first thing on my mind for so fkn long now. I believe in a god, I don't know who,what, he,she or it is but I pray that force shows itself soon because I'm so freeking tired of all this.

    T.... H....

    Hope you're still kicking, Tony

    T.... H....

    You've got all of us if you need to talk, hombre. Suicide isn't the answer. God is with you and he wants to meet you on his time. Not yours. Hang in there.

    T.... H....

    So Tone, My bet is dollars to donuts, you're still here and still a loser. In my experience, when I hear someone say "I've been thinking of suicide everyday", 9 times outta 10, they are far to cowardly to actually do it. So prove that I'm right. Answer this comment, ya bum.

    T.... H....

    @43Aquaman Calling someone a loser never helped nobody none

    T.... H....

    Brave share Tony. Not going to say hope this or that, or you know whatever, but brave share nonetheless. I was told there are only two kinds of ducks in the world; lucky ducks & dirty ducks. You are one kind of duck.

  4. J.... P....

    Chris Isaak listens to them.

  5. A.... ....

    One of the saddest songs I ever heard. Little did I know I would be moving to Dallas Texas about 6 months after I heard it for the first time. 

    A.... ....

    That sucks.

  6. G.... G....

    chicken n chips never sound so good. Great underrated talent, but I think that was their intention.

    G.... G....

    Not the intention haha

  7. C.... ....

    FINALLY!!! I have been looking for a GOOD VERSION OF THIS SONG for YEARS NOW!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
