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 Chorus: 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? Chorus: 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 - 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 Chorus: 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
