[Intro]
Dim lights flicker, shadows on the wall
A quiet man’s wish, hopes against the fall
Whiskey whispers in his trembling hand
Yearning for love in a lonely land
[Verse 1]
1912, the clock strikes twelve
Silent tears fall where memories dwell
His scars are silent, stories untold
A battered heart, brave and bold
[Pre-Chorus]
He writes to heal what’s broken inside
Hopes for love he cannot hide
A simple wish on New Year’s night
To find someone who'll hold him tight
[Chorus]
Oh, will there be someone who sees his pain?
Who'll stay and love him, not run away again?
A battered soul, seeking something real
A love that mends what time can’t heal
[Verse 2]
He walks to the old, worn-out bar
Questions if hope has left his star
Memories echo of a darker past
Struggling to see love that can last
[Pre-Chorus]
He pours a glass, to toast the new
Hoping for a love that’s true
A fragile heart, beating slow
Dreams of a place where love can grow
[Chorus]
Oh, will there be someone who sees his pain?
Who'll stay and love him, not run away again?
A battered soul, seeking something real
A love that mends what time can’t heal
[Bridge]
In the flickering candle's glow
He dares to dream of what he knows
Maybe he's not meant to be alone
A heart beats for a love unknown
[Outro]
So here’s to hope, to new beginnings
To finding love amidst the ashes andings
A lonely man in a battered frame
Yearning just to be loved the same
