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 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
(**)
Broken pieces of A barely breathing story Where there once was love
Now there's only me And the lonely...

Christina explained the song's meaning to Teenvogue: "'The Lonely' is about my love affair with loneliness. The saddest, quietest, most painful kind. It's lonely personified. It's my relationship with no one, and I'm very happy I kept it superdramatic and simple at the same time. It's me, a piano, plus a nineteen-piece orchestra." (songfacts)
