  • It was great at the very start
    Hands on each other
    Couldn't stand to be far apart
    Closer the better

    Now we're picking fights and slamming doors
    Magnifying all our flaws
    And I wonder why, wonder what for
    Why we keep coming back for more

    Is it just our bodies?
    Are we both losing our minds?
    Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
    'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
    Do we need somebody just to feel like we're alright?
    Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
    'Cause we're scared to be lonely?

    Too much time, losing track of us
    Where was the real?
    Undefined, spiraling out of touch
    Forgot how it feels

    All the messed up fights and slamming doors
    Magnifying all our flaws
    And I wonder why, wonder what for
    Why we keep coming back for more

    Is it just our bodies?
    Are we both losing our minds?
    Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
    'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
    Do we need somebody just to feel like we're alright?
    Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
    'Cause we're scared to be lonely?

    Scared to be lonely
    Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

    Even when we know it's wrong
    Been somebody better for us all along
    Tell me, how can we keep holding on?
    Holding on tonight 'cause we're scared to be lonely
    Even when we know it's wrong
    Been somebody better for us all along
    Tell me, how can we keep holding on?
    Holding on tonight 'cause we're scared to be lonely

    Is it just our bodies?
    Are we both losing our minds?
    Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
    'Cause we're scared to be lonely?

    Do we need somebody just to feel like we're alright?
    Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
    'Cause we're scared to be lonely?

    Scared to be lonely
    Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
    Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
    Eh, eh, scared to be lonely Writer/s: Georgia Ku Overton, Giorgio Hesdey Tuinfort, Kyle Michael Shearer, Martijn G. Garritsen, Nathaniel J. Campany
