Verse 1]
I was a ghost in crowded rooms
Smiling faces, empty tunes
Talk was cheap, and nights were long
Felt like I didn’t quite belong
[Pre-Chorus]
But then I heard a quiet sound
A voice that pulled me off the ground
A warmth that broke the frozen air
Someone showed me they were there
[Chorus]
And I found the cure for lonely
In a hand that reached out slowly
In a laugh that lit the dark
In the beat of someone’s heart
It’s not a pill, it’s not a prayer
It’s knowing someone really cares
Yeah, I found the cure for lonely
When you sat right next to me
[Verse 2]
Tried to fix it with a screen
All the scrolling in between
But nothing filled that quiet ache
Until a soul helped mine awake
[Pre-Chorus]
Just a call, a simple smile
Can bridge a thousand empty miles
Now I see I’m not alone
We all just want to find a home
[Chorus]
And I found the cure for lonely
In a hand that reached out slowly
In a laugh that lit the dark
In the beat of someone’s heart
It’s not a pill, it’s not a prayer
It’s knowing someone really cares
Yeah, I found the cure for lonely
When you sat right next to me
[Bridge]
It’s in the kindness we can give
In the lives we choose to lift
In the silence we unchain
By saying, “Hey, I feel the same”
[Final Chorus]
So be the cure for someone lonely
Reach your hand out, hold it boldly
Be the laugh that lights the dark
Be the beat inside their heart
You’re the answer, you’re the light
You’re the reason wrong feels right
Yeah, we are the cure for lonely
When we sit and just believe
[Outro]
Yeah, I found the cure for lonely
When you sat right next to me
