the lonely

2 a.m., 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 me
 And hold me 'til 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
