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.
