The Lonely Lyrics - Christina Perri

2am, where do I begin 

Crying off my face again 

The silent sound of loneliness 

Wants to follow me to bed 

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 

Dancing slowly in an empty room 

Can the lonely take the place of you 

I sing myself a quiet lullaby 

Then you go and let the lonely in

NEW SONG: Taylor Swift - 'You Need To Calm Down' - LYRICS 

To take my heart again 

Too afraid, to go inside 

For the pain of one more loveless night 

For the loneliness will stay with me 

And hold me till I fall asleep 

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 

Dancing slowly in an empty room 

Can the lonely take the place of you 

I sing myself a quiet lullaby 

Then you go and let the lonely in 

To take my heart again 

Broken pieces of 

Photos 

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 

Then you go and let the lonely in 

To take my heart again...
