Lyrics
Have you ever been lonely?
Have you ever been blue?
Have you ever loved someone
Just as I love you?
Can't you see I'm sorry
For each mistake I've made?
Can't you see I've changed dear?
Can't you see I've paid?
Be a little forgiving
Take me back to your heart
How can I go on living
While we're apart?
If you knew what I've been through
Then you'd know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely?
Have you ever been blue?
Mother
Have you ever been blue?
Have you ever loved someone
Just as I love you?
Can't you see I'm sorry
For each mistake I've made?
Can't you see I've changed dear?
Can't you see I've paid?
Be a little forgiving
Take me back to your heart
How can I go on living
While we're apart?
If you knew what I've been through
Then you'd know why I ask you
Have you ever been lonely?
Have you ever been blue?
Mother
About "Have You Ever Been Lonely (Have You Ever Been Blue) (Alternate)"
A wistful alternate take that leans into the blues of the title. Holly’s voice cracks with genuine heartache, while the band’s gentle sway provides a comforting, if melancholy, embrace. It’s a masterclass in turning simple questions into profound sorrow.
