Lyrics Lonely

Lonely by Justin Bieber discusses the challenges and feelings of isolation he faced growing up in the spotlight from a young age. It addresses the constant pressure and judgement he experienced and reflects on the price of fame. The song was co-written by Benny Blanco, Finneas OConnell, and Justin Bieber.

 Everybody knows my name now
But something 'bout it still feels strange
Like looking in the mirror

And everything is not the same now
It feels like all our lives have changed
Maybe when I'm older, it'll all calm down

What if you had it all but nobody to call?
Maybe then you'd know me
'Cause I've had everything
But no one's listening
And that's just fucking lonely

I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely

Everybody knows my past now
Like my house was always made of glass
And maybe that's the price you pay

And everybody saw me sick
And it felt like no one gave a shit
They criticized the things I did

What if you had it all but nobody to call?
Maybe then you'd know me
'Cause I've had everything
But no one's listening
And that's just fucking lonely

I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
