about

lyrics

I'm tired of being alone
Surrounded by everyone I know

I spend my nights tryna get out of my head
And make believe with all my very fakest friends
I sold my dreams away so I could sleep in peace
To waste my time while I stay up and play pretend

So I get numb and never let it show,
I'm high and fakin' smiles for the camera roll
Just gettin' so tired of being alone
Surrounded by everyone I know

Yeah what I'm sayin' is I'm lonely
Are ya lonely
Do ya wanna be lonely with me

Yeah are ya lonely
Be lonely with me

So who are you and what's your problem?
So unrefined, just laying out your bottom line in perfect time
To find the shot but you're too hollowed out to take it
So in the moment would you hold on to mistake it

Up off an empty rush with nowhere else to go
Running from the comedown and the
Feeling so tired of being alone
Surrounded by everyone I know

Yeah what I'm sayin' is I'm lonely
Are ya lonely
Do ya wanna be lonely with me

Yeah are ya lonely
Be lonely
Do you wanna be lonely
Do ya

And then when life crashes in like a stone through the glass
In my eyes and I'm sick going nowhere so fast
I swear sometimes I'd be just fine on my own
But I'm tired of being alone

So are you lonely
Like I'm lonely
Do ya wanna be lonely with me

Yeah are ya lonely
Be lonely
Do you wanna be lonely
Do ya, do ya

I'm lonely
Are ya lonely
Do ya wanna be lonely with me

Yeah are ya lonely
Be lonely
With me
