Layla, how I wish you knew what is out there. If you opened your heart, you would feel something.
I know how you fear heart break, but that's just a part of life,
You only bring more pain if you shut everyone out,
or pretend you're okay.
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.
