Louise Mosrie: Music
One of the Lonely Ones
(Louise Mosrie)
I’ve seen your smile fade a second too fast
And your eyes darken into focus.
You’ve got a wit too sharp to touch
It’s a little too close to home
A little too much
Then I know
You’re one of us
One of the lonely, lonely ones
And it shows
When you’re one of us
One of the lonely, lonely ones
One of the lonely ones.
Other people think you’re cold but they don’t know
That’s just a fire you’re so practiced at keeping down
I know you want to scream it out loud
You’ve been restless so long
You don’t even know what’s wrong
But I know
Repeat chorus
And you don’t know any other way to be alive
Oh, you’ve been knocked down, shut down, put down
So many times
Go on and cover up your scars baby, but I know who you are
I know who you are
Yes I know who you are
Repeat chorus
There’s no need to wonder why
It’s always the same goodbye.
