Sometimes I feel like people smell the lonely on me

It's seeped in my perfume or it spilled all over my laundry

Sometimes I feel like they can see it on my person

Like it's written on my forehead, every language, every version.

She's lonely, she don't got no purpose

And I say what they want but it'll always be the wrong thing

I forget that they can smell the lonely on me.

In crowds, in towns, my house

There's nowhere that I'm safe

At the beach, in my sheets

I just can't seem to find some space

Lonely finds a way.

Sometimes I feel like people smell the lonely on me

It slipped into my pocket or I had it with my coffee

Sometimes it feels like they see right through my façade

Is it how I do my makeup, the way I tend to walk?

She's lonely, she don't got

No one, no how, no way

She will get there someday

But right now she's pretty lonely

Lonely, lonely, lonely

Lonely finds a way.

There's nowhere I can hide

It finds me every time

My lonely eats me alive

I barely sleep at night

I live inside my mind

My lonely eats me alive.

Sometimes I feel like people smell the lonely on me

It eats me alive every time.
