[Verse 1]
She was sixteen the first time
She had her heart broken
Truth is, I've never had mine (Had mine)
Now she goes on vacation
In expensive places
To get away from her mind (Her mind)

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't mean to be rude
There's things in myself that I see in you

[Chorus]
Lonely eyes
She had those lonely eyes
I only know 'cause I have them too
Lonely eyes
No, you don't have to hide
The things you feel inside, I feel too

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm lonely just like you
'Cause I'm lonely just like you

[Verse 2]
Bask in all of the silence
In between our eyelids
Where you are, I'm right there too
We might speak different languages
And we might have differences
But where you are, I'm right there too

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't mean to be rude
There's things in myself that I see in you

[Chorus]
Lonely eyes
She had those lonely eyes
I only know 'cause I have them too
Lonely eyes
No, you don't have to hide
The things you feel inside, I feel too

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm lonely just like you
'Cause I'm lonely just like you
'Cause I'm lonely just like you
(Oh, oh)

[Bridge]
Stay the night, stay the week
When you're gone, I don't sleep
When you're gone, I feel weak, oh
Stay the night, stay the week
When you're gone, I don't sleep
When you're gone, I feel weak, oh

[Chorus]
Lonely eyes
She had those lonely eyes
I only know 'cause I have them too (Oh)
Lonely eyes
No, you don't have to hide
The things you feel inside, I feel too

[Outro]
'Cause I'm lonely just like you (Oh)
(Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da)
I'm lonely just like you (Oh)
(Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da)
I'm lonely just like you (Oh)
Stay the night, stay the week (Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da)
When you're gone, I don't sleep (I'm lonely just like you; oh)
When you're gone, I feel weak, oh (Da-da-da-da)

Lauv

With an affection for electronic and R&B sounds, infused with his soulful bedroom vocals and airy beats, Ari Staprans Leff, known professionally as Lauv, has burst onto the music scene with his intimate take on romantic pop.

Lauv’s musical beginnings started in childhood, learning strings as well as playing piano, but neither captivated his interest. However, his connection with music grew when he picked up a guitar at the age of 11. From there, Lauv became obsessed with expressing himself musically, which channeled into an interest in songwriting.

Eventually he made his way to New York University (NYU) in 2012, and entered the prestigious Music Technology Program there, having expanded his music interests into jazz and electronic music production in high school to add to his diversified portfolio.
