The Lonely

Текст песни Christina Perri - The Lonely

​the lonely Lyrics[Verse 1]
2 a.m., where do I begin?
Crying off my face again
The silent sounds of loneliness
Wants to follow me to bed

[Pre-Chorus]
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]
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]
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]
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]
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]
Broken pieces of
A barely breathing story
Where there once was love
Now there's only me and the lonely

[Chorus]
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 again21
