☆ Christina Perri- The lonely lyrics

2am
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 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
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
