Dancing slowly in an empty room Can the lonely take the place of you? I sing myself a quiet lullaby Let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again
Too afraid to go inside For the pain of one more loveless night But the loneliness will stay with me And hold me 'til I fall asleep
Kiss me on my shoulder Tell me it's not over I promised to always come home to you Remind me that I'm older To be brave smart, sweet and bolder And don't give up on what we're trying to do
Don't count the miles, Count the "I love you"'s
And these are words I wish you said But that's not how it went 'Cause you gave up on us in the end
And I won't make it alone I need something to hold
