Zak Abel commented on the song during it’s premiere on Hunger TV
This is the second song me and Joker made together – we spent a long time travelling back and forward between London to Bristol to get this one right. We got there in the end, and I’m really proud of the final result. I hope you like...
[Verse 1]
Saw me riding on the back seat
When you got me and you called me out
To say I never did try
No, I never did try
When the thunder and the lightning came arising
I wanted all the gold
In front of my eyes
Oh, in front of my eyes
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know I burned
The bridges that we made
To never cross again
But give me something for the pain
[Chorus]
Cause I don't wanna be this lonely
I don't wanna be this lonely
I don't wanna feel this low
Oh
This lonely
Tired of letting it control me
I don't wanna feel this low
Oh
[Verse 2]
Standing on the frontline, there ain't an ally
To call upon
To carry me home
To heal this broken soul
[Pre-Chorus 2]
That let me burn
The bridges that we made
To never cross again
But give me something for the pain
[Chorus]
Cause I don't wanna be this lonely
I don't wanna be this lonely
I don't wanna feel this low
Oh
This lonely
Tired of letting it control me
I don't wanna feel this low
Oh
[Bridge]
Let love overcome me, let love show me mercy
Let love take me from this place
[Chorus]
Cause I don't wanna be this lonely
I don't wanna be this lonely
I don't wanna feel this low
Oh
This lonely
Tired of letting it control me
I don't wanna feel this low
Oh
[Outro]
I don't wanna feel this
I don't wanna feel this
I don't wanna feel this low
Oh
