“Lonely” is about how all-consuming the feeling of loneliness can sometimes be. There’s a desperation to escape that feeling that comes in stages – wallowing in what-ifs, overanalyzing your actions, asking the universe for a sign, etc. Although the lyrics were written in the first few months of 2020...
When the stars come out at night
And they’re the only ones there to hold me
I ask the moon when will it end
Don’t wanna be so lonely
Too much time on my plate
I tend to meditate on me myself and I
And all the reasons why
I don’t have what I want
How much of it is my fault
Stoke a fire that keeps on burning
In a permanent state of yearning
When the stars come out at night
And they’re the only ones there to hold me
I ask the moon when will it end
Don’t wanna be so lonely
When the stars come out at night
And they’re the only ones there to hold me
I ask the moon when will it end
Don’t wanna be so, be so…
When the stars come out at night
And they’re the only ones there to hold me
Lonely
Be so, be so…
When the stars come out at night
Don’t wanna be so, be so lonely
Don’t wanna be so lonely
When the stars come out at night
And they’re the only ones there to hold me
I ask the moon when will it end
Don’t wanna be so lonely
I try to put some distance
From the ache in my chest
I picture me and you
Try to convince myself it could come true
When it gets late
I put on a playlist
Soundtrack of coming of age
But my script’s still a blank page
When the stars come out at night
And they’re the only ones there to hold me
I ask the moon when will it end
Don’t wanna be so lonely
When the stars come out at night
And they’re the only ones there to hold me
I ask the moon when will it end
Don’t wanna be so, be so…
When the stars come out at night
And they’re the only ones there to hold me
Lonely
Be so, be so…
When the stars come out at night
Don’t wanna be so, be so lonely
Don’t wanna be so lonely
