Lonely At The Top letra

Tell Frannie, I'm sorry
She didn't get to know her dad
I'll bet he's sorry
He didn't get to know you too

Tell her there'll be people
Saying things that make her sad
How her daddy felt alone, how he was hurtin' bad
I guess that won't be too far from the truth

Yeah, it's lonely at the top
Happy is one thing it's not
I was jaded, suffocated, it got too hard to breathe
But never got as high as I needed to be

You know life becomes worthless
When they steal your dreams
I just couldn't live with what was left for me
And I couldn't run far enough from the truth, what's the use?

Yeah, it's lonely at the top
Happy is one thing it's not
Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down
No one there can help you stop before you hit the ground
It's lonely at the top

Tell Frannie, I'm sorry
And I better kiss her when she cries
I'm sorry I left her
Never said goodbye

Didn't mean to leave you all alone but then the music died
Though the song remains the same, I couldn't live that lie
You know that ain't too far from the truth
And you know that ain't too far from the truth

Yeah, it's lonely at the top
Happy's one thing it's not
Before you know you find yourself alone and looking down
No one there to help you stop before you hit the ground

Yeah, it's lonely at the top
Yeah, it's lonely at the top
It's lonely
