Scared to Be Lonely Lyrics
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
It's like 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
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?
Scared to be lonely
Scared to be lonely
Eh, eh, scared to be lonely
Hands on each other
Couldn't stand to be far apart
Closer the better
And slamming doors
Magnifying all our flaws
And I wonder why
Wonder what for
Why we keep coming back for more
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?
Where was the real?
Undefined, spiraling out of touch
Forgot how it feels
And slamming doors
Magnifying all our flaws
And I wonder why
Wonder what for
It's like we keep coming back for more
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?
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
Are we both losing our minds?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
Scared to be lonely
Eh, eh, scared to be lonely

At the start of their relationship it was good, but soon it started getting very routine and the feeling left. They start to wonder why they keep "coming back for more" as they start seeing more and more flaws in each other. The chorus is about how we as humans always want someone. Even if they aren't good for us, we realize it's better than being lonely. In the next verse they start to wonder what it even felt like when it was real. Basically, this song is about how "Even when we know it's wrong" we still stay with someone because we are scared to be lonely. We would rather be with someone than not.
