Two am, where do I begin
Crying off my face again
The silent sound of loneliness
Wants to follow me to bedI'm a ghost of a girl
That I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl
That I used to know wellDancing 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 againToo 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 asleepI'm a ghost of a girl
That I want to be most
I'm the shell of a girl
That I used to know wellDancing 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 againBroken pieces of
A barely breathing story
Where there once was love
Now there's only me
And the lonelyDancing 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
