The fourth single by UK band FIZZ features dodie on lead vocals, and it is one of the softer, sadder moments on their album The Secret To Life. In an Instagram post, by the band, they refer to it as their “gentlest and saddest yet.”
The song describes the feeling at the end of a relationship, when...
One, Two
[Intro: All]
You
Me
Lonely
[Verse: dodie]
This is the way that I exist
Having you holding me like this
Like this
This is so comfortable it hurts
Oh, but I guess it could be worse
So much worse
[Pre-Chorus: dodie]
If it was what it was
It is what it is
It won't ever be what I want it to be
[Chorus: all]
But I'd be lying if I, told you
I'm not dying inside
I love you
I need to
What am I
Without you?
[Verse: dodie]
Facing away from me in bed
Counting the grey hairs on your head
And I got scared
Think of a joke without your laugh
Think of the kids we'll never have
That's so sad
[Pre-Chorus: dodie]
If it was what it was
It is what it is
It won't ever be what I want it to be
[Chorus: all]
But I'd be lying if I, told you
I'm not dying inside
I love you
I need to
What am I
Without you?
I love you
I need to
What am I
Without
[Outro: all]
You
Me
Lonely
You
Me
Lonely
You
Me
Lonely
You
Me
Lonely
You
Me
Lonely
You, Me, Lonely was written by Orla Gartland & dodie & Greta Isaac & Martin Luke Brown & Soren Bryce & Mathew Swales.
You, Me, Lonely was produced by Soren Bryce & Peter Miles & FIZZ.
FIZZ released You, Me, Lonely on Fri Sep 15 2023.
You, Me, Lonely.. a full sentence, this sad phrase echoes to start a song about a partnership that has run its course: ‘I love you, I need to. What am I without you?’ [It’s] a time capsule for the moment right before 2 hearts break.
