[Verse 1]
Blue
I'm getting kinda close to you
Like a shadow, I can't lose, hey
You've been hanging with me everyday
Now you're getting in my way, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you understand me
But don't you think that maybe
It's time to move on?

[Chorus]
What's up, lonely?
Seems you're my only
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me, heartache
What's it gonna take
For you to leave me alone today?
Just when I think that you're gone, yeah
You're in the mirror looking back at me
So what's up, lonely?
Lonely, oh

[Verse 2]
Sometimes, I wish you weren't by my side
Can't you find another shoulder?
'Cause I, I wanna leave this broken heart behind
We're both wasting too much time

[Pre-Chorus]
Find someone else to rain on
I'm really gettin' tired of singin' this sad song

[Chorus]
What's up, lonely?
Seems you're my only
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me, heartache
What's it gonna take
For you to leave me alone today?
Just when I think that you're gone, yeah
You're in the mirror looking back at me
So what's up, lonely?

[Bridge]
Don't wanna give you a reason
To hang around anymore
You won't be hurting my feelings
If you find another broken heart you can lean on

[Interlude]
Gotta go, gotta move on
Gotta go, gotta move on
Just leave me alone

[Chorus]
What's up, lonely? (What's up, lonely?)
Seems you're my only
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me, heartache (Tell me, heartache)
What's it gonna take
For you to leave me alone today?
Just when I think that you're gone
You're in the mirror looking back at me
So what's up, lonely?

[Interlude]
Gotta go, gotta move on
Gotta go, gotta move on
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
What's up, lonely?
Seems you're my only (Baby, yeah)
Friend who wants to share my pain
Tell me, heartache
What's it gonna take…
Just leave me alone
What's up, lonely?

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
