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
