lyrics

She goes to parties on her own
Left in the corner all alone
People she knew back in the day
They 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 style,
with her knockoff purse and worn-out shoes

She says she's o-k
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 who 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 o-k
Wiping the tears away
This bourgeois life was never meant for prototypes
The Lonely ones, the lonely ones

But 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
And when they realize the void in their own lives
They'll know they too are lonely ones.

She says she's o-k
She'll do things her own way
Sometimes this life can end up turning out alright for lonely ones
The lonely ones
