Searching in the city

(Verse 1)
Late nights on the west side, lights blur in my eyes
Ridin’ down I-10, got dreams I can’t hide
Every face I pass got a story untold
But I’m still out here searchin’ for a hand to hold

Neon signs flicker, hearts come and go
In a city so big, still feel alone
Got my guard up high, but my hope won’t die
Even heartbreak can’t dim this fire inside

(Pre-Chorus)
I’ve been through the games, through the lies, through the pain
Still believin’ one day love gon’ stay

(Chorus)
I’m tryna find love in Houston
Where the nights feel long and the hearts keep movin’
Through the smoke, through the noise, through the confusion
Still holdin’ on, I ain’t losin’
Yeah, I’m tryna find love in Houston
Where it’s fast, where it’s wild, where it’s ruthless
But I know there’s somebody out there too
Tryna find me like I’m findin’ you

(Verse 2)
Met a girl downtown, said she felt the same
But her past still hauntin’, couldn’t break the chain
Every promise made turned to yesterday
Now I’m back on my own, goin’ separate ways

From the Heights to the south, I been all around
Every smile I see got me lookin’ down deep
Tryna read between lines, tryna see what’s real
‘Cause love in this city got a different feel

(Pre-Chorus)
I done gave my heart, watched it fall apart
But I’m still out here playin’ my part

(Chorus)
I’m tryna find love in Houston
Where the nights feel long and the hearts keep movin’
Through the smoke, through the noise, through the confusion
Still holdin’ on, I ain’t losin’
Yeah, I’m tryna find love in Houston
Where it’s fast, where it’s wild, where it’s ruthless
But I know there’s somebody out there too
Tryna find me like I’m findin’ you

(Bridge)
Maybe it’s in a moment I ain’t seein’ yet
Maybe it’s in a smile I ain’t met
Maybe love ain’t lost, just runnin’ late
And we both just stuck in this same fate

But I won’t give up, no I won’t let go
Even if it’s slow, I’ma take it slow
‘Cause real love worth every scar I got
And I know one day I’ll find my spot

(Outro Chorus)
Still tryna find love in Houston
Through every wrong, I keep choosin’
To believe there’s a heart that’s true
In this city waitin’ just for you

Yeah, I’m tryna find love in Houston…
And maybe, just maybe… it’s you.
