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
