the lonely~

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
