Charles Bradley - Lonely As You Are Lyrics




You think you've been lonely, but loneliness is mine
As lonely as you are it ain't bad as mine
You think you've been suffering, but suffering is mine
As lonely as you are it ain't bad as mine
So lonely
Lonely as hell

Lucifer coming to me trying to make me turn myself loose
But I tell you God, you're my heart and soul
No one can chain me
If it call for me to die
I'm so lonely
Lonely as hell

You think that you're lonely, but loneliness is mine
As lonely as you are it ain't bad as mine
You think you've been suffering, but suffering is mine
As lonely as you are it ain't bad as mine
So lonely
Lonely as hell

You think you don't know me loneliness, but I know you well
Mamma, wherever you at in heaven
Please, hold a space for me
I'm walking this planet Mamma like you taught me to do
I'm walking, trying to find you, Mamma
One day, when God says well done
Please, be at the gate waiting for me
With your Momma, Grandma, Rowena Green, J.W. Welch and so many more

You think you've been lonely, but loneliness is mine
As lonely as you are it ain't bad as mine
No, no, no, no, no, no baby
Ooh

I love you and this is from Charles Bradley
Hope this one day gets out to the world

  11. Frank Lopez

    Somethings not right about these newer songs his voice spunds different .too high pitch. And the music doesnt sound like his band it just sounds fake like it was put together really quick with no thought. His band should have been in charge of these songs. Somone is just trying to make a quick buck off Charles Bradley recordings. REST IN PEACE CHARLES BRADLEY.

  12. Elijah' Mathews

    That 1 person who disliked this song should be ashamed.

  13. Arassuil

    Charles Bradley is a national treasure, his voice translates his pain perfectly, and it's a shame how little music he was able to produce. But then again, maybe it's his lifelong struggles that shaped his music. RIP

    Ben Coster

    I got some bad news for you..

  51. JENNIFER LACEY

    Came across this from the Rolling Stone's article. His hook/refrain is bitter and full of regret. But damn if his lyrics aren't on point about being lonely. He succinctly summarizes what my experience of loneliness has been and is. Yet, I can't help but chuckle a bit when he warbles the refrain but it's so flawed it's perfect.

  52. Robson Valichieri

    Looking into the eyes of Death, he decided to sing... Miss you forever, Charles!!!

  53. Alecia Norman

    I can't stop listening to this. So heartbreakingly beautiful.

  54. Lisa brandriff

    POWERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  55. Tiago Sanches

    Amazing ❤️

  56. Jonattan david Mendoza

    Listening to this while my mom final days suffering terminal liver cancer... 😔

    #RIPcharlesBradley

    bootsy

    Hang in there my brother. You're lucky to have had such a great mom!

    Jonattan david Mendoza

    @bootsy thank you !
    Likewise I pretty sure your mom was a good mom ! Let's keep it up. They will be guiding our steps and wait for us in heaven.

    bootsy

    @Jonattan david Mendoza for sure!

    Alan B

    Jonattan david Mendoza Lost my mother 5 years ago at 56 years old after an illness, Hope she has a peaceful passing man.

    Laurent Labiano

    My mom died for less than a year from lung cancer, i understand so well what you feel and this incredibly beautiful song... Hang on.
