Slow tempo ballad about choosing to be alone over being in a relationship that isn't right

Tamara Lewis

I was playing a "heartbreak song" and a friend said "what key is that in?" and I said "The key of lonely." I knew that was a great title and decided to write this song using it.
KEY OF LONELY © Tamara Lewis 2008

It wasn’t what we wanted
Yet we gave it a try
You weren’t who I thought
And neither was I

But our parting put salt
In an old deep wound
So I won’t try again
Anytime soon

And I’ll be playing in the Key of Lonely
For a while


I’ve got penniless pockets
I’m broke to the bone
Cuz I gave all I had
And woke up alone

I’ll be out in the cold looking in
Like a poor kid
walking through the rich part of town

And I’ll be praying to the Patron Saint of Lonely
From now on


Today I talked with a friend
Who dreads going home
But she says hating him
Beats being alone

But I want to come home to love and a smile
So I’ll play in the Key of Lonely
For a while
