The Lonely Lyrics
[Verse 1: Christina Perri]
2 am, where do I begin?
Crying off my face again
The silent sounds of loneliness
Wants to follow me to bed
[Pre-Chorus: Christina Perri]
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
[Chorus: Christina Perri]
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: Christina Perri]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Christina Perri]
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
[Chorus: Christina Perri]
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
[Bridge: Christina Perri]
Broken pieces of
A barely breathing story
Where there once was love
Now there's only me and the lonely
[Chorus: Christina Perri]
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
