Lonely Girl Lyrics

Lonely Girl you lost the only thing you loved
Nothing that you have is ever good enough
And I won't be the one to keep you safe
And I won't be the one who stays the same

You got a lot of nerve and
Looks like the tables turning
And now you're wishing me well like you miss me
You got a dirty tongue and
Looks like the damage done is forever
And it's a long time to miss me
Whoa oh, no
And it's a long time to miss me
Whoa oh, no

Lonely girl it looks like you are out of luck
Tell me how it feels to watch your friends give up
I was on your side
I stood by you
So go ahead and cry it's just like you

You got a lot of nerve and
Looks like the tables turning
And now you're wishing me well like you miss me
You got a dirty tongue and
Looks like the damage done is forever
And it's a long time to miss me
Whoa oh, no
And it's a long time to miss me
Whoa oh, no

And I don't feel sorry for you, sorry for you
'Cause now the tables turning
And now the bridge is burning
It's coming crashing down
Crashing down
Over you, over you, over you, over you

You got a lot of nerve and
Looks like the tables turning
And now you're wishing me well like you miss me
You got a dirty tongue and
Looks like the damage done is forever
And it's a long time to miss me
Whoa oh, no
And it's a long time to miss me
Whoa oh, no

Lonely Girl

Vocalist Jenna McDougall explained to Kerrang! magazine that the background of this song concerns a broken friendship. "It's me speaking to a friend I no longer speak to," the Australian singer said. "She would always cry out for attention and complain about everything that was wrong in her life, but she wouldn't help herself or ask for help from anyone else. It was really difficult to be a friend to someone who pushes you away like that, and in the end, she told me to never speak to her again. The song is me closing the book on the friendship."

McDougall added that the song is also relatable to other people's situations. "Everyone's got ex-best-friends, and I've found that the reality of growing up is that you leave people behind and people leave you behind. The song's about coming to terms with that and finding yourself as your own personal and letting go of the grudges that in the end do nothing but hold you back. At heart, it's a coming-of-age song, which is an important event in the lives of everybody."
