'Cause I'm Lonely

Phone lights up tonight
Same damn color as your eyes
But it ain’t you
I curl my hair and change my clothes
Don’t know how to be alone
It’s too new
Midnight comes and goes
I let him pull me danger close
‘Cause I miss you
I close my eyes and kiss his lips
Pretend it’s you between my hips
‘Cause I need to
And I know that there’s nothing I can say
But I hope you’ll forgive me for the way
I give myself to someone new, god I know it’s no excuse
Baby it’s only ‘cause I’m lonely
I know I only fool myself
Thinking this will really help
Me get over you
I watch him sleep, feel him breathe
Different beat than you and me
Wish he were you
And as I lay here by his side
Say I won’t do this tomorrow night
But then I do
His fingers tracing my tattoo
I swear it almost feels like you
But I’m no fool
And I know that there’s nothing I can say
But I hope you’ll forgive me for the way
I give myself to someone new, if I were you I’d hate me too
Oh baby it’s only ‘cause I’m lonely
And I’m not proud of what I’ve done
Wish we were still in love
But I wrecked you
When I leave at two am
Drive home alone again
I’ll think of you
And I know you’ll say what you want
What you need to to move on
But you and I both know that it’s not true
‘Cause baby, people make mistakes
Believe me, I take all the blame
For losing you
