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.
