Ilse DeLange The Lonely One

The Lonely One

I told the sun, not to shine, and stay away.
I told the lake, to go dry and wash away.
Am I wrong, Am I strong, Walk away.
Do I know there are no words to say.
Am I yours, am I mine, anyway.
Do I know there are no words.

I am the only princess. I'm indestructible.
I am winged victory. I am so breakable. I am the distant planet. I am the golden sun. I am the broken pieces. I am the lonely one.

Asked the sky to fall down on you. Asked the night, to be solid proof. Am I good, am I bad or the same. Am I bad, am I worse, stay away. Is there anything else left to say. Are there really any words.

I am a flying spaceship. Identifiable. I am the perfect lover. Tell me I'm lovable. I am the distant planet. I am the purple sun. I am the highest mountain. I am the lonely one.

So here's me now, without you. I turn the lights out, without you. Should I be frightened, without you. Always night now, without you.

I am the darkest morning. I am the sleeping fool. I am the wandering gypsy. I am right here next to you. I am the distant planet. I am the golden sun. I am the empty canyon. I am the lonely one.

The lonely one.
