Show me the meaning of being lonely
So many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me
[Chorus]
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze upon me
Guilty roads to an endless love (endless love)
There's no control
Are you with me now?
Your every wish will be done
They tell me
[Chorus]
There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body, and soul
How can it be
You're asking me
To feel the things you never show
You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
[Chorus]
So many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me
[Chorus]
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart
Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze upon me
Guilty roads to an endless love (endless love)
There's no control
Are you with me now?
Your every wish will be done
They tell me
[Chorus]
There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body, and soul
How can it be
You're asking me
To feel the things you never show
You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
[Chorus]

they sing it like they do any of there songs. like there readin lyrics. unlike tears in heaven by eric clapton. or johny cash version of of nine inch nails hurt.both cash and clapton sang the song with passion heart and soul.
The first verse, of course, describing broken hearts and joys...until the last lines. 'Your every wish will be done They tell me:'
This song almost makes me think of the pressures songwriters have to write relatable songs and songs that are down and depressing. (It wouldn't be the only song to do this.) It would also explain 'Show me the meaning of being lonely', which is, as mentioned elsewhere, a very strange thing to want. And yet, we do want this from our music, yes? It's only a theory, and I could be way off, but this is what it makes me think of. There's my two cents.

Tell me why I can't be there where you are
This is the question that i've done lots and lots of times to my boyfriend, he lives really far from me, like 1300km, and im always missing him and he just dont care...i will show him the feeling of being lonely, someday when i get really tired about waiting, im sick of waiting actually!!
someday you'll see Abraham...
The meaning behind this, to me, has got to be the horrible pain of unrequited love. Unrequited love is a horrible, horrible feeling and it's hard to overcome, and I hope that nobody has ever gone through it. I'm still trying, but my method is going to take a chunk out of my heart. You see, the girl I love has been my best friend since my childhood and I've known her for over half my life, for a good 11 years. We are still wonderful friends and she knows how I feel and all, it's just her love is not as strong for me as mine is for her. My method is to have her tell me straight face to face that she doesn't love me.
That's what I think the BSB are trying to convey here. It's about a person dealing with a horrible, unreturned love on their hearts and minds that is slowly burdening them. They feel lonely and pitiful. He's given everything to her, his heart, his soul, everything, but she cannot return his love. He is lulling over what things would be like, and like me, he may even be pondering how to overcome it.
It makes me feel very alone.. just the way it's put together and the soulfoul sad undertone beat =[
