The Lonely - Christina Perri

2am, 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 inside
For the pain of one more
loveless night.

But the loneliness will stay with i'm  And hold me til I fall asleep.

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.

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.
