Tell Franie I`msorry 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 singing 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 breath
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`s 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
Oooh yeah,
Tell Franie, I`m sorry I better kiss her when she cries
I`m sorry I left her, never said good-bye
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
