Machine Gun Kelly – Lonely lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got in trouble
The first time my dad saw me
Dance with the devil
How are we so opposite?
I lived with your sister
My first home since Mom had left
And I wrote my first song with him in the basement

[Pre-Chorus]
And then he said goodbye way too soon
This don't feel right without you

[Chorus]
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'd trade it, trade it, I would trade it all for you
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'm lonely, lonely, lonely without you

[Verse 2]
I got in trouble
The first time the cops saw me
Dance with the devil
I ended up in handcuffs and then
You called your sister
She cried when she picked me up
Goddamn, how I miss her
'Cause she didn't give a fuck

[Pre-Chorus]
And then she said goodbye way too soon
This don't feel right without you

[Chorus]
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'd trade it, trade it, I would trade it all for you
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'm lonely, lonely, lonely without you

[Verse 3]
The last time I saw you (Fuck)
I cried, I wished you had more time left
The last time I heard you
They held the phone, you took your last breath
The last time I saw you
I cried, I wished you had more time left
The last time I heard you
They held the phone, you took your last breath

[Chorus]
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'd trade it, trade it, I would trade it all for you
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'd trade it, trade it, I'd trade it all for you
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I'd trade it, trade it, I'd trade it all for you
Lonely, lonely, even when the room is full
I hate this, I'm jaded, and I'd trade it all for you

[Outro]
Boy, it was just a dangerous birth
His umbilical cord was stuck around his neck
So I ended up, undoing the umbilical cord and uh
He was bigger than a normal child
I don't know what it was but he had uh, uh
He had a heart problem, and they didn't think he would live

    I think "Dance with the Devil" simply refers to all the trouble Colson got himself into, even as a little kid, you know playing a game with "The Devil". But this particular sentence could also mean the moments when he started to battle with mental health issues, often referred as "the Devil" in songs by many artists.

    Also "He/She said goodbye way too soon" Can mean Colson's father's and aunt's actual departure from his life, or he could mean the feeling of them "leaving him" by giving up on him too soon in his past. He was a troubled child and maybe he wanted them to care, so when they didn't it felt like a "goodbye" to him. But since Colsons father actually died not long before he made this song, I assume he was talking about his dad actually passing away unexpected, leaving him confused and lost in life because the "goodbyes" had to be said too soon
