"the lonely" by christina perry

"2 a.m. where do i begin?
cryin' off my face again.
the silent sound of loneliness
wants to follow me to bed.
i'm a ghost
of the 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.

to afraid to go inside
for the pain of one more loveless night.
for the loneliness will stay with me
and hild me til i fall asleep.
i'm a ghost
of the 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."
