Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm in this fight and I'm swinging

And my arms are getting tired

I'm tryin' to beat this emptiness but I'm runnin' out of time

I'm sinkin' in the sand and I can barely stand

And I'm lost in this dream, I need you to hold me

I'm scared of lonely

[Verse 2]

I try to be patient but I'm hurtin' deep inside

And I can't keep waiting

I need comfort late at night

And I can't find my way

Why won't you lead me home?

'Cause I'm lost in this dream, I need you to hold me

I'm scared of lonely

[Chorus]

And I'm scared of being the only shadow I see along the wall

Lonely

And I'm scared the only heartbeat I hear beating is my own

Lonely

And I'm scared of being alone

I can't seem to breathe when I am lost

In this dream, I need you to hold me

I'm scared of lonely

I'm scared of lonely

[Verse 3]

I cry at night 'cause my baby's too far to be by my side

To wipe away these tears of mine

So I hold my pillow tight, to imagine you

Outstretch your hand, looking for mine

'Cause I'm lost in this dream

I need you to hold me

I'm scared of lonely

[Chorus]

And I'm scared of being the only shadow I see along the wall

I'm scared of lonely, lonely

And I'm scared the only heartbeat I hear beating is my own

I'm scared of lonely, lonely

And I'm scared of being alone

I can't seem to breathe when I am lost

'Cause I'm lost in this dream, I need you to hold me

[Bridge]

I need your strength when nobody's around

Hey, hey, hey, hey

'Cause I'm tired of this emptiness

Hey-hey, hey, hey

I think I'm drowning

Woo, woo, woo, woo

I can't be lonely no more

And I'm lost in this dream

I need you to hold me

I'm scared of lonely

[Chorus]

And I'm scared of being the only shadow I see along the wall

Lonely

And I'm scared the only heartbeat I hear beating is my own

Lonely

And I'm scared of being alone

I can't seem to breathe when I am lost

In this dream, I need you to hold me

I'm scared of lonely

[Chorus]

And I'm scared of being the only shadow I see along the wall

Lonely

And I'm scared the only heartbeat I hear beating is my own

Lonely

And I'm scared of being alone

I can't seem to breathe when I am lost

In this dream, I need you to hold me

I'm scared of lonely

I'm scared of lonely
