    Lyrics:
    2 a.m., where do I begin
    Crying off my face again
    The silent sound of loneliness
    Wants to follow me to bed
    I'm the ghost of a girl
    That I want to be most
    I'm the shell of a girl
    That I used to know well
    Dancing slowly in an empty room
    Can the lonely take the place of you
    I sing myself a quiet lullaby
    Let you go and let the lonely in
    To take my heart again
    Too afraid to go inside
    For the pain of one more loveless night
    But the loneliness will stay with me
    And hold me til I fall asleep
    I'm the ghost of a girl
    That I want to be most
    I'm the shell of a girl
    That I used to know well
    Dancing slowly in an empty room
    Can the lonely take the place of you
    I sing myself a quiet lullaby
    Let you go and let the lonely in
    To take my heart again
    Broken pieces of
    A barely breathing story
    Where there once was love
    Now there's only me
    And the lonely
    Dancing slowly in an empty room
    Can the lonely take the place of you
    I sing myself a quiet lullaby
    Let you go and let the lonely in
    To take my heart again
    Named iTunes’ “Breakthrough Pop Artist of 2011,” Perri earned critical applause and an increasingly fervent fan following with her extraordinary debut, lovestrong. Highlighted by the 5x-platinum-certified smash, “Jar of Hearts,” the album - produced by GRAMMY®-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes, My Morning Jacket) - entered the SoundScan/Billboard 200 among the top 5 upon its initial 2011 release, while also proving an unqualified international sensation with top 5 success in Australia and Ireland as well as top 10 sales in Canada and the United Kingdom. What’s more, the official “Jar of Hearts” companion visual has drawn over 340 million views via Perri’s official UA-cam channel.
    Perri followed lovestrong. with the worldwide hit single, “A Thousand Years,” exclusively featured on Summit Entertainment/Chop Shop/Atlantic’s THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN - PART 1 & 2- ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACKS. The track was a multi-format radio favorite, with top 10 airplay at Hot AC and top 25 spins at CHR/Top 40 outlets nationwide. “A Thousand Years” was of course accompanied by an equally popular companion video, now boasting over 1.1 billion individual views via UA-cam alone.
    HEAD OR HEART, Perri’s acclaimed second album, arrived in 2014, highlighted by the RIAA 2X platinum-certified single, “Human.” Hailed by Billboard as a “delicate alt-pop ballad that should delight supporters of (Perri’s) breakthrough single ‘Jar of Hearts,’” the track proved another colossal hit for Perri, lighting up the Top 10 at multi-format radio outlets nationwide, while also ascending to Top 10 status on the iTunes Store. In addition, the “Human” companion video proved a true online phenomenon, now with close to 186 million views on Perri’s official UA-cam channel.
    Christina recently released a brand new album, songs for carmella: lullabies & sing-a-longs, on January 17th via Elektra Records. The release was timed with her daughter Carmella’s first birthday. The album sees Perri performing a number of timeless standards alongside beloved Disney favorites and a brand new version of her 7x RIAA platinum-certified classic hit, “a thousand years (lullaby),” in addition to a new original, titled “you mean the whole wide world to me.”
    Christina also earned applause as an extraordinary live performer via a series of worldwide headline tours, with sold-out shows in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America. Other highlights include high-profile TV appearances, festival performances, and treks with Ed Sheeran, OneRepublic, and Demi Lovato, as well as “The Girls Night Out, Boys Can Come Too” co-headline tour alongside Colbie Caillat.

    Do you know that feeling when you have lots of friends but you feel lonely? When you want everyone to leave you alone, but you just want someone to care. When you feel like you've finally lost hope.

    Everybody’s like “I am so lonely oh such misery, I have no friends”
    But honestly I don’t think it’s about being lonely in the sense of actually not having anyone. The line that hit me the most is “I’m the shadow of the girl I want to be most “. Because there’s nothing worse than losing yourself, your dreams and hopes and desires, your will. Only then you are truly lonely. There’s always other people. But there’s never another “me”

    "I am the shell of the girl that I used to know well" I resonate so much with this line. My friends and family know me as the happy go lucky girl that jokes about everything and that will catch you when you fall. Now I am just an anxious mess who is great at hiding behind the mask of the girl I used to be because I can't bring myself to destroy the picture of the oh so happy and strong girl.

    The worse sense of loneliness is having people who are physically there but don’t get wat your going through. It creates a bubble of isolation.

People will come and people will go. The ones who are important will stay. Believe me. Stay strong and try not to drown in your own tears. Love you all.

    I would really appreciate if you had the time to read this and possible change your life.
    When I was 16 I met this girl. And I had feelings for her. We were best friends so it would be weird if we dated. She unfortunately did have a condition which could possibly kill her (cancer) which she was diagnosed with after a few years after we met. She didn’t have a good chance of living but I kept my hopes high. She fortunately did beat the battle and we threw a huge party for her. We had a couple of drinks but unfortunately... some girls put drugs in her drink. I went home thinking everyone was ok and I woke up to hear that she unfortunately passed away. I never got the chance to tell her how I felt. And this party was only a month after she was given the good news. It’s been 7 years now amy. 7 years. Happy anniversary. 😭 this is the reason why I suffer from depression and still to this day have suicidal thoughts 😭

    Loneliness a poem I wrote..
    No one around~
    It's pitch black
    And there's not a sound
    Except the heaving breathing coming from someone
    Trying to hold in her feelings get away from them.
    Just run
    Tears streaming down her face~
    She thought she had at least one person left,
    But she discovered they chose a different place.
    No one understands her,
    And teary eyes are making her vision blur.
    Nothing is clear, but it doesn't matter there's nothing to see,
    Because in this darkness there's only one thing that there can be.
    With her is only this
    It's the cold bitter loneliness

  • @LiminalSpaceLover

    This song speaks to me on so many levels. Like the empty room is my mind. The loneliness can be overbearing sometimes. It can get to be too much so I "dance". I've shed so many tears that I can no longer cry but in my mind I cry rivers. I'm no longer the same as I used to be. I wear a mask everyday so that no one can know or see my pain. I also sing everyday to keep all thoughts of 'him' at bay

    • @eschelar
      @eschelar 8 років тому +38

      The only way to beat social anxiety is to fight it directly. You need to find some small microgoals that challenge your comfort zone. The more you stay nestled in your comfortable comfort zone, the more you will reinforce your social anxiety.
      Time to break out of that shell. There are lots of channels to help you with this. Elliot Hulse worked for me.
      You need to break that shell because if you don't, *nothing* else will get you out of it.

    • @eschelar
      @eschelar 8 років тому +8

      Yeah, the funny thing about problems is that you actually need to solve the problem with actions that have the potential to work. And then persist and work hard at it.
      There are actually many actors who started acting because they wanted to face their social anxiety. Guess what? It worked.
      They still have to struggle with it (Samuel L Jackson still fights with his social anxiety, James Earl Jones too) in spite of having found great success by working hard on the problem.
      When you have a problem like this, you need to find the right solution for the problem and then persist, keep going at it. Check out some motivation videos by Elliot Hulse. He talks about this specifically in some of his videos like "How not to give a fuck" or "how not to be a pussy" or "how to make other men respect you".
      Note that he does not advocate tackling insurmountable issues. He talks about building a pattern, starting small and working with attainable goals.
      I couldn't go to the mall and start singing. But I could go to a mall and say hello to people. I could go to the mall, buy some candy and share it. I might be able to go to the mall with a friend and do a "free hugs" thing - although that's probably my limit. However, after I had tried it a few times, I am sure that it would get easier.
      And that's the correct solution for the problem: find small goals that challenge your fears and do them one at a time until you have the strength for the next one.

      Dj Snivy I was always pretty quiet but that changed in 7th grade for me too. I began to be quiet and extremely uncomfortable around classmates and people in the hall. It was so unbearable that me and a few others began to eat lunch in the library. I wouldn't eat in the lunchroom because I was just that uncomfortable.

    • @eschelar
      @eschelar 8 років тому +11

      If you guys had parents worth their salt, they would have told you that this is a normal part of growing up. Things change as you grow up and you need to work hard to assert your personality.
      Youth is a time of experimenting to find the edges of your personality and the points that define who you are. This process is falling apart as we put too much weight on how we *feel* vs what we *are*.
      Everything worth accomplishing requires facing uncomfortable feelings and difficult challenges. At some point, you're going to need to learn how to push through them.
      Or like many other young people, you too will become a useless consumer sheep of no real value to anyone.
      Learn to stand on your own two feet! The time for that is *now*.

    It's actually sad how this song speaks to me on how I'm feeling lately I'm only 15 years old and I'm already stressing on what to be in life.... I wear this same mask everyday to keep everyone happy but really inside I'm just hurt.... I'm a nice person to everyone and give everyone something so they can smile but never gave back when I'm feeling down... I'm always isolated from my family and doesn't really bother trying to talk to them and create a bond with them. And when I try to tell them how I feel they just push me around and tell me to man up.... But that doesn't really help....

    "The Lonely"
    2am; where do I begin,
    Crying off my face again.
    The silent sound of loneliness
    Wants to follow me to bed.
    I'm the ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
    I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
    Dancing slowly in an empty room,
    Can the lonely take the place of you?
    I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
    Let you go and let the lonely in
    To take my heart again.
    Too afraid to go inside
    For the pain of one more loveless night.
    Cause the loneliness will stay with me
    And hold me till I fall asleep.
    I'm the ghost of a girl that I want to be most.
    I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well.
    Dancing slowly in an empty room,
    Can the lonely take the place of you?
    I sing myself a quiet lullaby.
    Let you go and let the lonely in
    To take my heart again.
    Broken pieces of
    A barely breathing story
    Where there once was love
    Now there's only me and the lonely.
    Dancing slowly in an empty room
    Can the lonely take the place of you?
    I sing myself a quiet lullaby
    Let you go and let the lonely in
    To take my heart again.

    This song is so hauntingly beautiful and it really hits close to home. The opening line "2 a.m., where do I begin?" perfectly captures the feeling of being lost and alone, crying off your face in the middle of the night. The imagery of the "silent sounds of loneliness" following you to bed is so powerful and relatable.
    The pre-chorus "I'm a ghost of a girl that I want to be most, I'm the shell of a girl that I used to know well" is a heartbreaking admission of feeling broken and flawed. It's like we're trying to hold on to the person we used to be, but we're just a shadow of our former selves.
    The chorus is so poignant and asks the question "can the lonely take the place of you?" It's like we're trying to fill the void left by someone we loved with loneliness, but it's just not the same. The line "let you go and let the lonely in to take my heart again" is so heartbreaking because it's like we're resigning ourselves to the fact that we're alone.
    The second verse is just as powerful, with the line "too afraid to go inside for the pain of one more loveless night." It's like we're so scared of being alone that we're willing to endure the pain of being in a loveless relationship.
    The bridge "broken pieces of a barely breathing story, where there once was love now there's only me and the lonely" is so raw and emotional. It's like we're looking back on a relationship that was once full of love and now we're left with nothing but broken pieces and loneliness.
    Overall, this song is a beautiful and poignant reflection on loneliness and heartbreak. It's a reminder that it's okay to feel broken and flawed, and that we're not alone in our struggles. Thank you, Christina Perri, for this powerful and relatable song.

    I remember this being one of the first songs that made me realize I had depression. I contemplated about showing this to my parents to make them understand I needed help, this song just made perfect sense as to how I was feeling about my life as a whole. I was depressed for five years. Now I can almost find the courage to say that I'm not ill anymore, after making it through the first winter without being depressed. Listening to this song feels very nostalgic and sad but it also reminds me of how far I've come. I just wanted to take the time to tell the people who are depressed and listening to this right now that things will get better. No matter how many times you've heard that sentence and how hollow it seems, I promise you that it is true. Have faith in yourself and the strength that is inside of you. ❤️

    Is it weird how this song really understands my view of loneliness?? There will be times when I seriously don’t think people will view me as a “real” friend. Heck, sometimes they don’t really care one way or another because I just hang out with them so I don’t feel like such a loser. Why did the universe made me who I am? Why am I so different from everyone? How come I can’t find love? And why is whenever I try, I always get rejected, but when everyone else does, they get someone? If life’s goal is to find love, what happens when we don’t? Should just keep playing a game of endless limbo, or kill my self to avoid the hurt....I hate being alone. I hate no one really caring for me. No one remembering my birthday. No real people who actually try to be friends with me instead of vice versa. No one to judge my interests, my sense of humor, and my voice. Fuck these people. I want love....

      Hello there,
      It's has been the same for me, but in this case it's my fault, when I was 10 I cut off all of my friendships, I don't even know why, I am currently 19 and I wasted all of those years trying to convince my self that friends are useless, but when I was 17 I saw 2 friends walking on the sidewalk and having fun (laughing) and it struck me, that friends aren't irrelevant, I just had gotten used to not having any, I realised that friendships give us happiness, a person to talk with and much more,that I couldn't have if I stayed alone.
      As for being diffrent, I totally understand you, I am quit differnt too, I lost my mother at a young age, perhaps that's the reason that I couldn't connect, as I said, even though 9 years have passed, I haven't found the reason yet.
      I should note that when though I came to this realisation, I haven't be successful at making a good friend yet, it's hard when you have spended 9 alone.
      P.S: When I say friendship, I mean friends not lovers.
      I wish you luck kind sir.

      Energy goes where attention flows. If you focus on what you lack, that emptiness is all you'll ever feel. If you focus on what you have and feel gratitude for that.. you'll find yourself heal.
      But if you ever need someone to show you how to see things the way you've never seen it before, I'm here. I'm not trying to be cheesy here, words on a screen don't do justice. But trust me when I say that you're never alone. You got this. And if you don't, you don't have to bottle it up alone.

    loneliness is a good thing. loneliness is always there when you need it and not ever leave your side and will not break your heart or ever get you hurt. Loneliness is my only friend because everyone else is full of shit. I rather feel lonely than have a chance at being hurt. If i'm not hurt, i'm happy. But when my heart stops beating, i'll be smiling.

    My 'friends' are fake friends. I treat them so nice, but they use me. I look happy because I act like it, but inside, I'm sad crying. No one gets me. They say thats not the case, but they don't get me, even my parents. I had true friends once, and I had to move away from them. I am so stressed out, and I'm only 12. I lose my true friends a lot. My true friends were younger than me, but so sweet and gentle. They protected me from the dark side. Since I am so sick of life, I almost killed myself, and became evil. My innocence is wearing off, my dark side is starting to show, I knew it was going to happen. I am not so understandable, and I'm very lonely. :'( No one gets me, no one ever has :'(

      Things may suck right now, but they will be okay. Everyone's always left me or I pushed them away before they could, but the impossible happened and someone finally stayed. Someone will see through your darkness and at least try to understand. Just gotta hang in there and try to do things that make you feel happy in the meantime. And sometimes the darkness isn't so bad if you handle it in a certain way. Innocence will not last forever and being difficult to understand may mean only people worth your time will come around. Things will get better, they always do. Unless you die before your time, that is, and miss out on those things. But if you hold on, eventually you'll find your happiness.

    This song means more to me now than it ever did before. This song, aside from the obvious themes of loss, is based on the feeling of being utterly alone after losing one's self. That "Lonely" feeling doesn't just come from having nobody around, it can also come from the feeling of not being able to talk to anyone even if surrounded by loved ones. The main point of the story within this song is that someone was heartbroken by loss, and now they've sunk deeper into the Lonely than they ever did before.

    I have severe Anxiety, mostly because I'm afraid to be alone yet I tell everyone... I love being alone.
    Part of my anxiety is the hypochondria running in my veins. I feel like I'm not normal and everyone says I'm healthy.
    One thing I also struggle with is admitting to myself the things I don't want to admit.
    I admit, I am lonely, but I'm afraid to let other people in my life because I don't want to try get hurt like I did once.
    I'm afraid to admit that I'm healthy because the anxiety and hypochondria is taking over my mental health.
    I'm afraid to admit this, but I feel like I've developed an eating disorder too because I skip lunch. In a week, I lost 3 pounds, now about 4 and it has done nothing but make me worry more about my health.
    I'm afraid to admit I may have depression because I'm so lonely and I block myself and my mind from all these things and I've thought about what it would be like not living here on Earth anymore. I know I'm in God's hands, my parents are together and I'm not abused, heck I'm loved. But the amount of attention my little sister gets affects my loneliness and makes it worse.
    I'm afraid to admit I'm an attention hog and beg for attention because I don't get enough already.
    I am afraid to admit this all to myself that all of this is correct and that I need help, and that I'm too afraid to tell anyone... Even my trustful, loving, amazing parents.😔
    (And no this is not for attention 🙄I wanted to express my feelings and inner thought in a way where I know if some people are nice enough and care, they will take the time to read this and possibly comment, which does not happen.)

And don't you dare talking to me like you know me, how are you supposed to judge if my life is easy or not if you know NOTHING about my life?! There was a time when I was struggling and it made me sad to see all these comments filled with statements that sounds like something I would think years ago, so I just wanted to spread some hope and tell people that things can change even if they don't believe in it yet. Do you have a problem with that?! Let's just all spread kindness.

    • @Theshowoffcollector
      @Theshowoffcollector 6 років тому

      godsandmonsters what I’m trying to say if you’re attempting to come from an understanding “I’ve been there” point, when really you haven’t, as a female can never experience depression like a man, females always have someone there for them, they cannot be lonely, but there are A LOT of isolated men today. So you don’t understand. You just went through your teenage emo “depression” phase like every teen girl. You were not depressed, your life is indescribably easy, so stop virtue signalling about something you know nothing of, that’s all I’m trying to say

    • @godsandmonsters4601
      @godsandmonsters4601 6 років тому +4

      Are you joking?! That's just wrong on so many fucking levels! As I said, depression doesn't have a gender and - surprise, surprise - I'm not doubting that there are several men that feel isolated, but there are also a lot of females that don't have someone there for them and therefore they can be just as lonely as men. What are you even trying to say, would my comment be alright if I was male?? Am I automatically a "teenager emo depression girlie" just because I'm female? You do realize that's a bit sexist, right? God, why are you even listening to this song about LONELINESS by a FEMALE artist, if we're apparently incapable of feeling lonely? :D
      You know what, maybe I don't understand depression, maybe I never will. Maybe what I felt was just a phase when I was unhappy with my teenage self. Did I feel like I wanted to die? Several times. And I meant it. So do millions of other "emo teenage girls" and you know what, some of them actually kill themselves every single year. So I'm sorry when I'm trying to help those people. Because, now I'm talking from experience, sometimes you just need someone to tell you that they care about you and that you matter, even if it's just a stranger from the internet.
      Now with all dear respect, leave me the fuck alone.

    I never thought that I would feel this feeling, Anxiety, lonely, depressed.
    I'm very happy when I'm in high school. I have a lot of friends. There is no single day that I feel lonely. But, when i'm in college it's begin to fade away.
    I never blame my parents or my friends for who I am now. I mean, they are trying to help me. They try to talk to me. But, it's like I'm the one who push them away. Now, I barely talk to them. I spend most of my day in my room.
    I don't know if there is someone out there have the same feeling as me. But, I hope you will get better.
    You know what is funny? When I'm in high school, i always want high school to over cause I want to get out, go from my hometown and see the world. But then after knowing how world works and it's treated you, I just wanna come back to past. Because NOW is so Hard and I don't think I can face the future.

    This song is so powerful and once you start listening to her songs you start to gain a repreciation for her. Her lyrics do have a story behind them and I think an artist who can write songs like this is a true artist. She is someone who can relate true feelings to her music which people love most.

    All the people out there:
    Look. I know we are all lonely. This song describes our emotions. If we all work together, we can make it out of this dark deep pit. *dont give up* (I sent this to my best friend. Still going today)

      yes we can make it out of this dark deep pit, but people like me, would rather help the others get out, and stay in it, just because they dont trust someone pulling them up.

    my 13 year old sister has been having problems lately, with cutting, guys, confusion and she's only 13. I was on her UA-cam her account and there were mostly sad songs on her history, not diy videos that she used to watch, just sad stories and songs and it hurts me knowing she's depressing I want to help her out, but she doesn't tell me anything. She needs to understand that I'm her only sister that she will ever have and her friends won't be there forever, I will always be there for her through thick and thin. It's so unreal she's too young to be feeling with way , I don't know if this is just a phase , or something's that's been happening at school with her, but I will not let my little sister lets kids her own age put shit in her head or she listen to others. Please if you have a sister who isn't herself please talk to her. just knowing she feels this way breaks me into a million pieces , wouldn't want my only blood sister to leave me in this harsh world , that she hates somuch

    I was listening to this song 3 years ago and this really hit me hard.. literally the loneliness creeps in me but now listening to this song is strange to me. It’s just that I cannot connect myself anymore to this song. I am grateful I have survived those times. I pray that everyone who reads this message will heal the same 🙏

    The more I listen to this song, the more I think that it's not about someone missing someone who's gone. It's about someone who's never known love, but knows that they miss it, if that makes sense.
    The person is someone who is so scared of being unloved that they act however they have to so that people like them. They are afraid that their real self isn't good enough, so they try to pretend to be someone else.
    At night, all they can think about is their crippling loneliness and depression. "...The pain of one more loveless night..." doesn't refer to being without someone. It's about hating themselves.
    The person they dance with, The Lonely, is the fake version of themselves that they abhor, yet cling to. And they are afraid that one day, everyone that they love will find out. And all the friends they hold on so tightly to will leave them. Alone.

    This is truly the saddest song I've ever heard in my life. But at the same time, the most beautiful song; as if softly whispered to me by a radiant angel crying tears from heaven.

    I knew i loved this song the first moment i listened to it many years ago, but i don’t think i understood it completely and felt it immensely until i was diagnosed with severe depression. this is definitely depression, and the lonely expresses it beautifully. 🖤

    The ones that always help you out of problems are the ones with the biggest ones.
    The ones that gave you all of them are the ones that have less.
    The ones that are always happy, when anyone is looking are the saddest one.
