Lonely Child
Emotions Unraveled: Christina Perri's Lonely Child
Lyrics
Just as fast as you came
Swiftly as you arrived
Just as fast the sun set
As swiftly as the sun went down
You push me away, you push me down
You reject me, pushing me down
Down, down, down, where my dreams lay
Where my aspirations lie
And just as quick as you left
Just as quickly as you departed
Just as quick as you left my heart undressed
As quickly as you left, leaving my emotions exposed
And I fell down, down, down, down
I descended into despair
You took my wish back to the well
You revoked my hopes and desires
And I remember all the words that you said
Recollection of your spoken words
That love is just a spark that starts in your heart
Love, a fleeting feeling commencing in the heart
And ends in your head
That eventually fades away in the mind
Darling calm down, calm down
Addressing with affection to calm down
You lose yourself in the clouds
Losing oneself in thoughts or emotions
Slow down, slow down
Advising to take a slower pace
Your world's spinning around
Feeling disoriented or overwhelmed
Play your right team, hard stay, restless running wild
Urging to make the right choices, but feeling restless and untamed
Just a lonely, just a lonely lonely child
Depicting oneself as a solitary and troubled individual
Just as dark as the night
Representing a period of darkness and confusion
Just as dark as the night when
Similar to the darkness of a specific night
I lost my mind, I lost control
Feeling the loss of rationality and self-control
Down, down, down
Descending into a deep emotional state
You let me sell my love for my soul
You allowed me to compromise love for personal gain
And I remember all the words that you wrote
Memories of words written, expressing love as a fleeting sensation
That love is just the sound that plays in your heart
Love portrayed as a fleeting sound within the heart
And gets caught in your throat
That becomes trapped in the throat, unable to be expressed
Darling calm down, calm down
Reiterating the plea to calm down
You lose yourself in the clouds
Losing oneself in thoughts or emotions
Slow down, slow down
Encouragement to slow the pace of life
Your world's spinning around,
Feeling disoriented or overwhelmed
Play your right team, hard stay, restless running wild
Striving to make correct decisions but feeling restless
Just a lonely, just a lonely lonely child
Portraying oneself as isolated and troubled
And I remember all the words that you said
Recollection of earlier words spoken about love
That love is just a spark that starts in your heart
Describing love as a fleeting sensation starting in the heart
And ends in your head
And eventually fading away in the mind
Darling calm down, calm down
Repeatedly urging to calm down
You lose yourself in the clouds
Losing oneself in thoughts or emotions
Slow down, slow down
Encouraging to slow down the pace of life
Your world's spinning around
Feeling disoriented or overwhelmed
Play your right team, hard stay, restless running wild
Striving to make the right decisions but feeling restless
Just a lonely, just a lonely
Depicting oneself as lonely and troubled
Just a lonely, just a lonely lonely child
Emphasizing solitude and emotional distress
Cha-cha-cha!
