Stranded in the city
Doesn't hold me down
Silencing my feelings
Streetlights blinking red again
When the crashing noise of speeding cars
Floods my lonely heart
And the heavy rain
Flooding from my eyes
Streetlights blinking red again
It's a message from the spirits whispering in the wind
Please slow down your crying
Keep the paper lantern lit
Keep it, ooh
How I lost my way when you lost my love
How I lost my way when you stole my heart
All alone
Don't call me lonely
I'm strong on my own
Don't call me pretty
