Loneliness Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
It's getting hard to hide this tainted lullaby
I'm talking in my sleep
The sky is falling down
It's getting closer now
It's getting hard to breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
Your hold has kept my heart in chains
For so long, I've waited for it to break
[Chorus]
Something in the air's got me feeling you're here again
And I was missing the dark, but now you’re near again
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Oh, I've been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And I've been losing my mind in these sweet dreams
[Verse 2]
My mind has been so loud, no way to break out
With nowhere to be still
It's time to cut these ties, and watch our shadows fly
Lеt the dark flood in
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
It's getting hard to hide this tainted lullaby
I'm talking in my sleep
The sky is falling down
It's getting closer now
It's getting hard to breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
Your hold has kept my heart in chains
For so long, I've waited for it to break
[Chorus]
Something in the air's got me feeling you're here again
And I was missing the dark, but now you’re near again
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Oh, I've been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And I've been losing my mind in these sweet dreams
[Verse 2]
My mind has been so loud, no way to break out
With nowhere to be still
It's time to cut these ties, and watch our shadows fly
Lеt the dark flood in
[Pre-Chorus]
Your hold has kept my heart in chains
For so long, I'vе waited for it to break
[Chorus]
Something in the air's got me feeling you're here again
And I was missing the dark without you near again
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Oh, I've been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness
[Bridge]
I'm not afraid to be alone
To feel a space
To know you're gone
To lose control
If nothing more
To feel the burn
[Chorus]
Something in the air's got me feeling you're here again
And I was missing the dark without you near again
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Oh, I've been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And I've been losing my mind in these sweet dreams
Your hold has kept my heart in chains
For so long, I'vе waited for it to break
[Chorus]
Something in the air's got me feeling you're here again
And I was missing the dark without you near again
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Oh, I've been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness
[Bridge]
I'm not afraid to be alone
To feel a space
To know you're gone
To lose control
If nothing more
To feel the burn
[Chorus]
Something in the air's got me feeling you're here again
And I was missing the dark without you near again
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Oh, I've been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And I've been losing my mind in these sweet dreams

Genius Answer
What did Birdy say about "Loneliness"?
Genius Answer
I’ve spent so much time over the years being quite solitary, in strange cities and weird hotel rooms. This is a love song to loneliness and feeling lost in a big city—and enjoying it. I wrote this song around the time of my third album, but I just didn’t feel attached to it. I took it to [Simian Mobile Disco member and producer] James Ford, who came up with this whole different feel for it. This time, it resonated.
