Lonely Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got in trouble
The first time my dad saw me
Dance with the devil
How are we so opposite?
I lived with your sister
My first home since Mom had left
And I wrote my first song with him in the basement

[Pre-Chorus]
And then he said goodbye way too soon
And this don't feel right without you

[Chorus]
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'd trade it, trade it, I would trade it all for you
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'm lonely, lonely, lonely without you

[Verse 2]
I got in trouble
The first time the cops saw me
Dance with the devil
I ended up in handcuffs and then
You called your sister
She cried when she picked me up
Goddamn, how I miss her
'Cause she didn't give a fuck

[Pre-Chorus]
And then she said goodbye way too soon
And this don't feel right without you

[Chorus]
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'd trade it, trade it, I would trade it all for you
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'm lonely, lonely, lonely without you

[Verse 3]
The last time I saw you (Fuck)
I cried, I wish you had more time left
The last time I heard you
They held the phone, you took your last breath
The last time I saw you
I cried, I wish you had more time left
The last time I heard you
They held the phone, you took your last breath

[Chorus]
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'd trade it, trade it, I would trade it all for you
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'd trade it, trade it, I'd trade it all for you
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'd trade it, trade it, I'd trade it all for you
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I hate this, I'm jaded, and I'd trade it all for you

[Outro]
Boy, it was just a dangerous birth
His umbilical cord was stuck around his neck
And so I ended up, uh, undoing the umbilical cord, and, uh
Well, he was bigger than the normal child
I don't know what it was but he had a, uh
He had a heart problem and they didn't think he would live

Cover art for Lonely lyrics by Machine Gun Kelly

This song is about his dad and aunt's death, but it could be about your girlfriend/boyfriend dying for others. That's what it was about for me.

"I lived with your sister, my first home since Mom had left" the narrator lives with her BF's sister because his Mom left home. This song, in my opinion, also rotates between the views of a boy and a girl who are going through the same thing.

"And then he said goodbye way too soon, and this don't feel right without you" The girl's BF died way too soon and life doesn't feel okay without him.

"Lonely, lonely even when the room is full, I'd trade it, trade it, I would trade it all for you. Lonely, lonely even when the room is full, I'm lonely, lonely, lonely without you" This means that the girl's at the funeral filled with people and even though so many people are trying to soothe her, she wishes this wasn't even happening in the first place.

"She cried when she picked me up. Goddamn, how I miss her. 'Cause, she didn't give a fuck" This is in the boy's point of view when he gets put in jail and his GF has to pick him up and she's crying because she was so scared. He misses her because she didn't care about what was bad that he did because she still loved him.

"And then she said goodbye way too soon. And this don't feel right without you" same thing for the boy's point of view.

"Lonely, lonely even when the room is full, I'd trade it, trade it, I would trade it all for you. Lonely, lonely even when the room is full, I'm lonely, lonely, lonely without you" The boy is at his GF's funeral, and he doesn't give a fuck about people's sympathy or how many people are there because he just wants to have his GF back.

"The last time I saw you, I cried, I wished you had more time left. The last time I heard you, they held the phone, and you took your last breath. The last time I saw you, I cried, I wished you had more time left. The last time I heard you, they held the phone, and you took your last breath" this is in both the girl's and boy's point of view when they first heard their GF/BF was dying. The nurse had held up the phone to the GF/BF's mouth because they were so weak they couldn't hold the phone, and they couldn't really speak, so they just listened to their loved ones' words while the GF/BF was taking their last breath. The boy/girl are both crying because they wished that they had more time left.

"I hate this, I'm jaded" the boy and girl are both admitting that they are feeling fucked up and are different now and they just hate all of this and want their GF/BF back.
