Lyrics

0:15Two am' where do I begin
0:21Crying off my face again
0:27The silent sound of loneliness
0:32Wants to follow me to bed
0:37I'm a ghost of a girl
0:40That I want to be most
0:43I'm the shell of a girl
0:47That I used to know well
0:52Dancing slowly in an empty room
0:58Can the lonely take the place of you
1:05I sing myself a quiet lullaby
1:12Let you go and let the lonely in
1:16To take my heart again
1:27Too afraid to go inside
1:34For the pain of one more loveless night
1:40For the loneliness will stay with me
1:48And hold me till I fall asleep
1:51I'm a ghost of a girl
1:54That I want to be most
1:57I'm the shell of a girl
2:00That I used to know well
2:05Dancing slowly in an empty room
2:11Can the lonely take the place of you
2:17I sing myself a quiet lullaby
2:25Let you go and let the lonely in
2:29To take my heart again
2:35Broken pieces of
2:39A barely breathing story
2:46Where there once was love
2:53Now there's only me
2:58And the lonely
3:02Dancing slowly in an empty room
3:07Can the lonely take the place of you
3:14I sing myself a quiet lullaby
3:19Let you go and let the lonely in
3:26To take my heart again
Two am' 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
For the loneliness will stay with me
And hold me till 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
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
