the lonely Lyrics

[00:13.26] 2 a.m., where do I begin?
[00:20.22] Crying off my face again
[00:26.25] The silent sound of loneliness
[00:32.85] Wants to follow me to bed
[00:36.98] I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most
[00:43.37] I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well
[00:51.56] Dancing slowly in an empty room
[00:57.87] Can the lonely take the place of you?
[01:03.86] I sing myself a quiet lullaby
[01:10.02] Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again
[01:19.07]
[01:26.51] Too afraid to go inside
[01:33.15] For the pain of one more loveless night
[01:39.54] But the loneliness will stay with me
[01:45.88] And hold me 'til I fall asleep
[01:49.95] I'm the ghost of a girl that I want to be most
[01:56.49] I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well
[02:04.72] Dancing slowly in an empty room
[02:10.98] Can the lonely take the place of you?
[02:17.03] I sing myself a quiet lullaby
[02:23.48] Let you go and let the lonely in
[02:28.75] To take my heart again
[02:32.84] Broken pieces of a barely breathing story
[02:45.37] Where there once was love
[02:51.57] Now there's only me and the lonely
[03:01.05] Dancing slowly in an empty room
[03:07.06] Can the lonely take the place of you?
[03:13.36] I sing myself a quiet lullaby
[03:19.55] Let you go and let the lonely in
[03:24.86] To take my heart again
[03:29.53]
