Alone

Verse 1

I gave my whole damn heart

To a bunch of broken bands,

Thought those brothers at my side

Would be there when I began.

But every stage we played

Had a knife behind the amps,

And the last time that it happened

Man, it damn near broke my hands.

Pre-Chorus

People say, “Link up with this guy,

My friend can really shred.”

But they don’t know the ghosts I’ve got

Or the things those people said.

Chorus

So I’ll play alone—

Yeah, just my hands, my sound.

No more voices in my headphones

Trying to push my music down.

I’m not bitter, I’m not broken,

I’m just better on my own.

I don’t need a crowded room

To feel these songs inside my bones.

Verse 2

Maybe it’s the scars

From the lies I didn’t see,

But I finally found a freedom

In being the whole damn “we.”

No more compromise,

No more egos in the way—

Just a man who’s lived some real life

Putting truth on every phrase.

Pre-Chorus

So don’t tell me who to call

Or whose riff could “change my fate,”

I’ve walked that path enough to know

I like the sound I create.

Chorus

So I’ll play alone—

Yeah, just my hands, my sound.

No more voices in my headphones

Trying to push my music down.

I’m not angry, I’m not hiding,

I just learned what I can do.

I don’t need a band behind me

To make something strong and true.

Bridge

I’m not running from the past—

I’m just choosing where I stand.

And the only one I trust

Is the one behind these hands.

So if you see me in the night,

Amp glowing like a fire—

Just know that’s where I’m happiest,

Where I finally feel inspired.

Final Chorus

Yeah, I’ll play alone—

My heart, my voice, my sound.

No more waiting for a promise

That’ll only let me down.

I’m not bitter anymore,

I’m just finally standing free.

This is who I am now—

And this music’s meant for me.
