The Lonely Ones Lyrics

She goes to parties on her own

Sits in the corner all alone

People she knew back in the day

Now turn to face the other way

She'll force a smile for a simple nod once in a while

Laughing along acting amused

Her secondhand-me-down betrays the latest styles

Her knockoff purse and worn-out shoes

She says she's okay

Wiping the tears away

This bourgeois life was never meant for prototypes

The lonely ones

The lonely ones

People in packs can be so cool

One icy shoulder met by two

Reflections in each other's eyes

Dancing upon each other's lies

She'll swim with sharks that cover up their own bite marks

She'll have her own when they get through

Already scarred from life spent fighting much too hard

I'm sure she'll leave a mark or two

She says she's okay

Wiping the tears away

This bourgeois life was never meant for prototypes

The lonely ones

The lonely ones

They don't even have a clue

The strength it took to overcome what she's been through

Somebody else might fall apart

Under the weight of what she carries in her heart

Forget the social status quo

She's making life up as she goes

People she knew back in the day

Now wish she'd only look their way

They'll come to learn she's living life on her own terms

And envy all that she's become

When they realize the void in their own lives

They'll know they too are lonely ones

She says she's okay

She'll do things her own way

Sometimes this life can end up turning out alright

For lonely ones

For lonely ones
