Scared of Lonely Lyrics

I'm in this fight, and I'm swinging
And my arms are getting tired
I'm trying to be this emptiness but I'm running out of time
I'm sinking in the sand , And I can't barely stand
I'm lost in this dream , I need you to hold me
I'm scared of lonely

I try to be patient, but I'm hurting deep inside
And I can't keep waiting, I need comfort late at night
And I can't find my way, won't you lead me home
Cause I'm lost in this dream, I need you to hold me
I'm scared of lonely

Chorus
And I'm scared of be the only
Shadow I see along a wall
And I'm scared of only heart beat
I hear a beating is my own
And I'm scared of being alone
I can't seem to breath when I am lost
In this dream, I need you to hold me
I'm scared of lonely

I cry at night, 'cause my baby's too far, to be by my side
To wipe away these tears of mine, so I hold my pillow tight
To imagine you, I'll stretch your hand looking for mine
I'm lost in this dream , I need you to hold me
I'm scared of lonely

Chorus

I need a drink when nobody is around
Cause I'm tired of this emptiness
I think I'm drowing
I can't be lonely
Cause I'm lost in this dream, I need you to hold me
I'm scared of lonely

well to me it seems like she and her guy are far apart (either broken up or in my case it's long distance). she doesn't want to face the fact she's alone, because the thought of being alone scares her. the first verse:

"I'm in this fight, and I'm swinging And my arms are getting tired I'm trying to be this emptiness but I'm running out of time I'm sinking in the sand , And I can't barely stand."

explains her struggle in this current state. she's trying to fight it but the feeling is taking over.

"I cry at night, 'cause my baby's too far, to be by my side To wipe away these tears of mine, so I hold my pillow tight To imagine you, I'll stretch your hand looking for mine."

basically, she misses him and wishes he was there with her.

The part that sums it up the most is "I'm lost in this dream , I need you to hold me I'm scared of lonely."

She wants it to be all a dream, a nightmare that will soon be over. All she needs is for him to hold her to make it all go away.

I think shes scared of being on her own, she was with someone and now there gone and she cant find her feet without them, shes lost, life lost all meaning etc.

i can relate.

how i feel about the song she saying she been holding down a man since forever waiting for him to love her the way she want to be loved without telling him and when he away doing his thing she wants to be secure when hes not around but he aint doing that but shes ready to move on but shes ready for him but hes not ready for her and shes afraid to move on because shes a afraid of lonely which mean she scared of the thought of being lonely so she continues to deal with it cause it hurts to let him go because of the time spent no grammer problem you gotta think outside the box to the dumb assholes

My Interpretation

@bethany111 you need to invest in some fullstops and commas, to make your post easier to read. I agree with the general gist of your comment though:

she is feeling like she is alone in a relationship, her partner just hasn't stepped up to the plate. She really wants him to, but for some reason he isn't filling the void. However, the thought of being without him all together is even scarier. Bit of a catch 22 situation.
