Lyrics of Scared To Be Lonely by Dua Lipa
verse
It was great at the very start
Hands on each other
Couldn′t stand to be far apart
Closer the better
pre-chorus
Now we're picking fights and slamming doors
Magnifyin′ all our flaws
And I wonder why, wonder what for
Why we keep coming back for more
chorus
Is it just our bodies?
Are we both losing our minds?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we′re scared to be lonely?
Do we need somebody
Just to feel like we′re alright
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
′Cause we're scared to be lonely?
verse
Too much time, losing track of us
Where was the real
Undefined, spiraling out of touch
Forgot how it feels
pre-chorus
All the messed up fights and slamming doors
Magnifyin′ all our flaws
And I wonder why, wonder what for
It's like we keep coming back for more
chorus
Is it just our bodies?
Are we both losing our minds?
Is the only reason you′re holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
Do we need somebody
Just to feel like we′re alright
Is the only reason you′re holding me tonight
'Cause we′re scared to be lonely?
hook
Scared to be lonely

Even when we know it's wrong
Been somebody better for us all along
Tell me, how can we keep holding on, holding on tonight?
′Cause we're scared to be lonely
bridge
Even when we know it′s wrong
Been somebody better for us all along
Tell me, how can we keep holding on, holding on tonight?
'Cause we're scared to be lonely

Is it just our bodies?
Are we both losing our minds?
Is the only reason you′re holding me tonight
′Cause we're scared to be lonely
