Below, you will find the lyrics for the lonely by Christina Perri.
Verse 1
2 a.m., where do i begin?
Crying off my face again
The silent sounds of loneliness
Wants to follow me to bed
Chorus 1
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
Verse 2
Too afraid to go inside
For the pain of one more loveless night
But the loneliness will stay with me
And hold me 'til i fall asleep
Chorus 2
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
A barely breathing story
Where there once was love
Now there's only me and the lonely
Chorus 3
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
