After the emotional ballads of “Cherry” and “Falling”, “To Be So Lonely” resembles a drunk phone call that may come at the denial stage of grief, after anger (“Cherry”) and depression (“Falling”). This is portrayed in the lack of blame Harry feels for the end of the relationship, and is represented by the carefree tone of the song despite the complaints of loneliness within it.
Lyrics of To Be So Lonely
Don't blame me for falling
I was just a little boy
Don't blame the drunk calling
Wasn't ready for it all
You can't blame me, darling
Not even a little bit
I was away
And I'm just an arrogant son of a bitch
Who can't admit when he's sorry
Don't call me baby again
You got your reasons
I know that you're tryna be friends
I know you mean it
Don't call me baby again
It's hard for me to go home
Be so lonely
I just hope you see me in a little better light
Do you think it's easy being of the jealous kind?
'Cause I miss the shape of your lips
You'll win, it's just a trick
And this is it, so I'm sorry
Don't call me baby again
You got your reasons
I know that you're tryna be friends
I know you mean it
Don't call me baby again
It's hard for me to go home
Be so lonely
To be so lonely, to be so
To be so lonely
To be so lonely, to be so
To be so lonely
And I'm just an arrogant son of a bitch
Who can't admit when he's sorry
Don't call me baby again
You got your reasons
I know that you're tryna be friends
I know you mean it
Don't call me baby again
It's hard for me to go home
Be so lonely
To be so lonely, to be so
To be so lonely
To be so lonely, to be so
To be so lonely
