[Verse 1]
I used to feel so close to you, my baby
Now I swear you might be a ghost
There's no more calling me your only lady
I’m getting a little emotional
[Pre-Chorus]
When you're gone I just want you to hold me
You can't help making me lonely
When you’re around, you're empty
Like I only have your body
'Cause when you're here
You're not all there
So why do I want you to hold me?
You can't help making me lonely
[Chorus]
Lonely, la-la-la-la-la
Lonely, la-la-la-la
Lonely, la-la-la-la-la
(Lonely, la-la-la-la) You can't help making me lonely
[Verse 2]
We sit in silence while your phone's going off
I wish that you’d look at me more
I never question calling this thing true love
Now I’m not really so sure
[Pre-Chorus]
When you're gone I just want you to hold me
You can’t help making me lonely
When you're around, you're empty
Like I only have your body
'Cause when you’re here
You're not all there
So why do I want you to hold me?
You can't help making me lonely
[Chorus]
Lonely, la-la-la-la-la
Lonely, la-la-la-la
Lonely, la-la-la-la-la
(Lonely, la-la-la-la) You can't help making me lonely
[Bridge]
Lonely, la-la-la-la-la
Lonely, la-la-la-la
Lonely, la-la-la-la-la
(Lonely, la-la-la-la) You can't help making me lonely
You're giving me some alone time
When it's supposed to be me and you time
Oh, I don't need this alone time, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
When you're gone I just want you to hold me
You can't help making me lonely
When you're around, you're empty
Like I only have your body
'Cause when you're here
You're not all there
So why do I want you to hold me?
You can't help making me lonely
