Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

I'm so lonely
Lonely
Everybody knows my past now
Like my house is always made of glass

Sing the opening verse

Everybody knows my name now
But somethin' 'bout it still feels strange
We sittin' in the mirror, tryna steady yourself
And seein' somebody else

lonelymaybeeverybody
