Difference between "alone", "only", "lonely"

Alone
"Alone" is used to say 'without anyone or anything else'.
  • He was all alone
  • The shoes alone cost £100. 
  • I don't like going out alone at night.

Only 
"Only" is used to say 'unique of something'.
  • It was the only way that we could do it.
  • Kevin was the only person to complain.

Lonely
"Lonely" is a feeling. For example you are feeling lonely because you miss someone. You can be alone without being lonely, and vice versa.
  • He was lonely without his wife and children. 
  • She was a lonely child with few friends.
