When I first met you, you had scars much deeper than my own
I know I was weak, but I feel I have grown
In the back of my mind, I know the difference between wrong and right
So if you should decide to leave me, I won't put up a fight

I specialise in lonliness
In lonliness I specialise
I specialise in lonliness
In lonliness I specialise

If you were a diamond, I wouldn't want you now
If you were a pearl, I'd throw you back somehow
I never could love that superficial way
And I'm much too proud to ask you if you'll stay
So go away

I specialise in lonliness
In lonliness I specialise
I specialise in lonliness
In lonliness I specialise

I specialise in lonliness

I know these are dangerous times for love
Shouldn't we stick together?

I need to be strong
When I first met you, you had scars much deeper than my own
I know I was weak, but I feel I have grown
In the back of my mind, I know what's wrong and right
I know what's right
And if you should decide to leave me, I won't put up a fight

I specialise in lonliness
In lonliness I specialise
I specialise in lonliness
In lonliness I specialise
