Beats like I'm lonesome

"Beats Like I'm Lonesome"

Verse 1

There’s a quiet in the room that won’t let me be,

Every shadow on the wall keeps starin' back at me.

The clock ticks slow, like it’s draggin’ time,

And my heart beats to the rhythm of a mournful line.

Chorus

It beats like I’m lonesome, like a cold wind’s cry,

Like a midnight train that don’t say goodbye.

It’s a sound so heavy, I can’t lift my eyes,

My heart beats to the rhythm of "I’m so lonesome I could cry."

Verse 2

I light another cigarette, though the pack’s run dry,

Chasin' ghosts through the smoke, askin’ myself why.

The radio plays, but it don’t break through,

Every note’s just a mirror of the pain I knew.

Chorus

It beats like I’m lonesome, like a cold wind’s cry,

Like a midnight train that don’t say goodbye.

It’s a sound so heavy, I can’t lift my eyes,

My heart beats to the rhythm of "I’m so lonesome I could cry."

Bridge

They say time’s a healer, but it’s slow to start,

When every second feels like a crack in my heart.

I’ve walked through the fire, but the flames still rise,

And the echoes of sorrow light up my skies.

Chorus

It beats like I’m lonesome, like a cold wind’s cry,

Like a midnight train that don’t say goodbye.

It’s a sound so heavy, I can’t lift my eyes,

My heart beats to the rhythm of "I’m so lonesome I could cry."

Outro

So I’ll sit in this silence and let it ring true,

This rhythm of heartache that pulls me to you.

In the stillness, I’ll linger, beneath the dark sky,

Where my heart beats to the rhythm of "I’m so lonesome I could cry."
