She Wants To Be Lonely
Lyrics By Jenn Slife
Music By Robert Thomson
Tuesday, September 09, 2008

[verse one]
She?ll talk for hours on end
But nothing she says is real
She won?t let anybody in
Because she refuses to feel

[verse two]
She?s filled with false modesty
She?s starving for compliments
Feeding off of others sympathy
For all the rejection she invents

[chorus]
See, there?s this girl I know
And she wants to be lonely, self-absorbed
In all her made up teenage drama
She truly believes she?s burdened
By her exaggerated trauma
How should I tell her to be?

[verse three]
Figments of her imagination
Her fears cater to her needs
But what other explanation
For her failure to succeed

[chorus]

Instrumental

[bridge]
She drains the happiness within
She?s the pressure beneath my skin
How could I be better? I mean
How should I tell her to be?

[chorus]
?Cause there?s this girl I know
And she wants to be lonely, self-absorbed
In all her made up teenage drama
She truly believes she?s burdened
By her exaggerated trauma
How should I tell her to be?

See, there?s this girl I know?
She needs to change
