Broken loner

Verse 1:

I drift through each day, merely existing

An empty shell where a heart should be beating

Loneliness my companion, it's company I'm keeping

As the broken loner, endlessly weeping

Chorus:

I am the broken loner, too scared to get closer

Walls built up high, refusing any opposers

I am the broken loner, the pain just gets older

When will I let someone finally hold me?

Verse 2:

Memories of hurt keep playing on repeat

Every kind gesture feels like a trick, a con, a cheat

Trust is a foreign concept I can't comprehend

As the broken loner whose heart won't mend

(Chorus)

I am the broken loner to scared to get closer walls built up high, refusing any opposer I am the broken loner, the pain just gets older

When will I let someone finally hold me?

Bridge:

But a glimmer of hope still flickers somewhere deep

If I tear down these walls, could I finally be free?

To let the light in and be happy once more

Is that too much for this broken loner to hope for?

Verse 3:

Isolation breeds overthinking, my own worst enemy

Stuck in this mental prison of anxiety

Every interaction feels like walking on eggshells

As the broken loner trapped in their personal hell

Pre-Chorus:

But I'm so tired of being alone

This emptiness is chilling me to the bone

If I stay on this path, what will I have to show?

A broken loner's life, a tragic tale of woe

Chorus:

I am the broken loner, too scared to get closer

Walls built up high, refusing any opposers

I am the broken loner, the pain just gets older

When will I let someone finally hold me?

Bridge:

A glimmer of hope still burns bright in my soul

To be happy and whole, no longer feeling so cold

It's time to take a chance, to let my guard down

Trade this broken loner's frown for a smile, not a frown

The world awaits if I break free of these chains

No more living in isolation, dealing with this pain

I'll let love and light in, no longer hide in the shade

The broken loner's walls will finally fade
