She lost, or is losing someone special, whether it's a love interest, family member, or simply a very dear friend. She came back home from some get together or party, at around 2am. "2am, where do I begin". She's home alone and all the feelings of sadness and emptiness flood and overwhelm her: "Crying off my face again The silent sound of loneliness Wants to follow me to bed". "I'm the ghost of a girl That I want to be most", the reason she goes out and tries to have fun, to become this outgoing and confident woman that every woman would love to be. "I'm the shell of a girl That I used to know well", but she knows she can't stop being the hurt and weak girl that keeps longing for that empty spot to be gone. "dancing slowly in an empty room, can the lonely take the place of you", she's dancing by herself in her room or house, and thinking of the lonely as an actual person that is comforting her and taking her away from her never ending thoughts and desires. "too afraid to go inside, for the pain of one more loveless night", She's afraid of going back in her home, where the lonely is awaiting her to blanket her in that too familiar feeling she knows.
yeah...think that's it. :P
