[Verse 1]
God, I bet if there was a god, I'd be killing him
But who needs god when I have Robbie Williams?
And who needs boys with these voices in my head
That say I'm useless, I eat too much bread?
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, I left you overnight
Left you overnight
In the cold strange air
But I'm running out of time
Running out of time
To learn how to care
[Chorus]
But I'm so lonely and I don't have any real friends
I'm so lonely, other people are just means to an end
I'm so lonely and I'm eating in a food hall
Just watching other people and it's all my fault
[Verse 2]
Onе more chicken roll won't kill me
Onе more novel, one less party
One more birthday I should not have forgot
Oh-oh-oh, how long more till I'm a lost cause?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well, I'm mentally unwell, mentally unwell
The excuse I've enlisted, but I honestly forgot
Honestly forgot that you even existed
[Chorus]
I'm so lonely and I don't have any real friends
I'm so lonely, other people are just means to an end
I'm so lonely and I'm eating in a food hall
Just watching other people and it's all my fault
[Bridge]
And I wish that I could leave my house and home
But I'll put everyone in danger, if I don't just sit here
And I'm wondering has this always been the case?
And when all this is over, should I just stay?
[Chorus]
I'm so lonely and I don't have any real friends
I'm so lonely, other people are just means to an end
I'm so lonely and I'm eating in a food hall
Just watching other people and it's all my fault

I started writing the song “Lonely” in the Arndale food hall in Manchester when I was on my break from work. Anyone who has been there will know that it is as aesthetically unpleasant as it is bustling, at all hours of the day. There was something that always drew me to it though – people. I was ver...
I wrote this about a time when I was living in Manchester. I lived there for two years, and I think that was the peak of my problem-person period. I worked in the TK Maxx, and I also worked as a sexy shots-lady in a nightclub in Deansgate-Castlefield. On a Friday and Saturday, I would work in TK Max...
