崩壊した恋愛関係を描いた歌詞。もうロマンティックな恋なんてないとわかっているのに、酔った彼女の心は彼女を蘇らせたいと望んでいる。しかし、この関係を続けることで彼女を孤独な気持ちにさせ、彼女をone night stand(一夜興行、一夜だけの情事)をしてしまうような心境にさせてしまう。
“Lonely Together” is about Rita’s struggle with a collapsed relationship her drunk mind wants her to revive, although she knows there won’t be romantic love anymore. However, remaining a friendship with that person would make her feel lonely, so she attempts a one night stand.
[Verse 1] It's you and your world and I'm caught in the middle I caught the edge of a knife and it hurts just a little And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know that I can't be your friend It's my head or my heart, and I'm caught in the middle
[Chorus] I might hate myself tomorrow But I'm on my way tonight At the bottom of a bottle You're the poison in the wine And I know I can't change you and I I won't change I might hate myself tomorrow But I'm on my way tonight
[Post-Chorus/Drop] Let's be lonely together A little less lonely together
[Verse 2] Eyes wide shut and it feels like the first time Before the rush to my blood was too much and we flatlined And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know just how this ends Now I'm all messed up and it feels like the first time
[Chorus] I might hate myself tomorrow But I'm on my way tonight At the bottom of a bottle You're the poison in the wine And I know I can't change you, and I I won't change I might hate myself tomorrow But I'm on my way tonight
[Post-Chorus/Drop] Let's be lonely together A little less lonely together Let's be lonely together A little less lonely together
[Pre-Chorus] My hands are tied, but not tied enough You're the high that I can't give up Oh lord, here we go
[Chorus] I might hate myself tomorrow But I'm on my way tonight At the bottom of a bottle You're the poison in the wine And I know I can't change you, and I I won't change I might hate myself tomorrow But I'm on my way tonight
[Post-Chorus/Drop] Let's be lonely together A little less lonely together Let's be lonely together A little less lonely together A little less lonely now A little less lonely now A little less lonely now
