[Verse]
You're on your own
In a world you've grown
Few more years to go
Don't let the hurdle fall
I'll be the girl you loved
I'll be the girl you loved

[Pre Chorus]
I'll wait
So show me why you’re strong
Ignore everybody else
We're alone now
I'll wait
So show me why you’re strong
Ignore everybody else
We’re alone now

[Chorus]
Suddenly I'm hit
It's the starkness of the dawn
And your friends are gone
And your friends won’t come
So show me where you fit
So show me where you fit

[Pre Chorus]
I'll wait
So show me why you're strong
Ignore everybody else
We’re alone now
We’re alone now
We’re alone now
We’re alone now
We’re alone now
We’re alone now
We’re alone now

[Chorus]
Suddenly I'm hit
It's the starkness of the dawn
And your friends they're gone
And your friends they won’t come
So show me where you fit
So show me where you fit

Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor (b. November 7, 1996), better known by her stage name Lorde, is a pop star hailing from New Zealand. While her earlier music focused on criticizing fame and the “pop star” culture, she grew into it more with her second album while keeping the superb writing she’s known for.

She first became a figure on the international scene with her debut EP The Love Club but didn’t start to blow up until her song “Royals” reached #1 on charts worldwide, including the US. Her use of apt metaphors and allegories at just sixteen made her a revered and intriguing media figure.

Although she was initially written off as a one-hit-wonder, her top-ten second single “Team,” curation of The Hunger Mockingjay soundtrack, and her friendships with other A-listers like Taylor Swift have kept her in the spotlight, as well as general intrigue about new music.
