about
This song is so personal for me. I had a friend who was going through an absolutely terrible time. I started thinking deeply about her situation and others around me as well and realized that there are so many of us, myself included, that so much of the time look like we have it all together on the outside. The truth of it is that perception precedes reality and it's simply not the case. There are times when we're all broken, when we're all down, and when we all could use a helping hand and a warm show of love. I wrote this song hoping to raise everyone's awareness to those around us that are having a tough go of it, and to be on the lookout for ways to shine even a tiny ray of light in their darkness. Don't leave "her" lonely.
lyrics
In and out, up and down
Never alone, never around
Growing up fast and out of this town
But something’s wrong
Hot as a burning flame
And everyone knows her name, but
(chorus)
She goes by Lonely
Wishing that only
She had a place called home
Somewhere shining in that sun
Burning out that gray
Hoping someday
She won’t be Lonely
Daddy’s stoned, oh so high
Mama’s gone, without goodbye
One more day folds to this night
And something’s wrong
She is a gentle breeze
She is a howling wind, cuz
(bridge)
Trying to hurt herself again
Telling herself the lie again
She knows, she knows
One day the clouds will leave again
This doesn’t have to be the end
She knows, she knows
She doesn’t know when to stop
When she’s cut
She doesn’t know she can stop
But she can stop
Never alone, never around
Growing up fast and out of this town
But something’s wrong
Hot as a burning flame
And everyone knows her name, but
(chorus)
She goes by Lonely
Wishing that only
She had a place called home
Somewhere shining in that sun
Burning out that gray
Hoping someday
She won’t be Lonely
Daddy’s stoned, oh so high
Mama’s gone, without goodbye
One more day folds to this night
And something’s wrong
She is a gentle breeze
She is a howling wind, cuz
(bridge)
Trying to hurt herself again
Telling herself the lie again
She knows, she knows
One day the clouds will leave again
This doesn’t have to be the end
She knows, she knows
She doesn’t know when to stop
When she’s cut
She doesn’t know she can stop
But she can stop
