"Lonely Heart" is a song by 5 Seconds of Summer and appears as the eleventh track on their fourth studio album, CALM.
Background[]
- "The song's really beautiful. I like the dancing metaphor in some of the verses. It kind of sounds like Depeche Mode in the chorus, which I like. It’s all pretty New Wave."[1]
It was written by all four members of the band in collaboration with Matthew Pauling.
Lyrics[]
One, two, three
Your type of mind, so hard to find
Native of mine, you're just my kind
Down on my knees, I'll always follow
I promise you until the end of time
Our house on fire, we're burnin'
We dance inside, you're hurtin'
If you leave me in the mornin'
I'll have such a—
Such a lonely heart, oh woah
Such a lonely heart, oh woah (Oh woah)
If you can't find another reason to stay
Then I know I'm gonna always have a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Heart, oh woah (Oh woah)
Heart
Your precious heart, can't watch it break (Ooh, ooh)
So I close my eyes while you walk away, mmm (Ooh, ooh)
Can I have a second chance?
Can I have another dance?
Can I start another life with you? Yeah (Oh)
When I wake up in a haze and I haven't slept in days
You're a thousand miles away with—
Such a lonely heart, oh woah
Such a lonely heart, oh woah (Oh woah)
If you can't find another reason to stay
Then I know I'm gonna always have a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Heart, oh woah (Oh woah)
Lonely, it ain't nothin' new
Nothin' new to me, nothin' new to you (Oh woah)
Lonely, it ain't nothin' new
Nothin' new to me, nothin' new to you
Lonely, it ain't nothin' new
Nothin' new to me, nothin' new to you (Oh woah)
Lonely, it ain't nothin' new
Nothin' new to me, nothin' new to you
Heart, oh woah
Such a lonely heart, oh woah (Oh woah)
If you can't find another reason to stay
Then I know I'm gonna always have a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Heart, oh woah (Oh woah)
Heart
