The Lonely

2 AM, where do I begin?

Crying off my face again

The silent sound of loneliness

Wants to follow me to bed



I'm a ghost of a girl

That I want to be most

I'm the shell of a girl

That I used to know well



Dancing slowly in an empty room

Can the lonely take the place of you?

I sing myself a quiet lullaby

Let you go and let the lonely in

To take my heart again



Too afraid to go outside

For the pain of one more loveless night

For the loneliness will stay with me

And hold me till I fall asleep



I'm the ghost of a girl

That I want to be most

I'm the shell of a girl

That I used to know well



Dancing slowly in an empty room

Can the lonely take the place of you?

I sing myself a quiet lullaby

Let you go and let the lonely in

To take my heart again



Broken pieces of

A barely breathing story

Where there once was love

Now there's only me

And the lonely



Dancing slowly in an empty room

Can the lonely take the place of you?

I sing myself a quiet lullaby

Let you go and let the lonely in

To take my heart again
