Tired Of Being Lonely

[Verse 1]
Empty bed
Cold side where you should be
Scrolling faces
None of them know me
Same four walls
Same old movie glow
Turn the volume up
So I don't feel alone
[Chorus]
I’m tired of being lonely
Heart begging you to hold me
This body aching for a touch
That stays when it gets rough
I’m tired of being lonely
Talking to the ceiling slowly
I just want somebody
Somebody to want me
[Verse 2]
Friends go home
Couples call each other “mine”
I say I’m fine
Then I pour another lie
Wearing hope
Like a shirt that doesn’t fit
Every night I fold it up
But I can’t quit
[Chorus]
I’m tired of being lonely
Heart begging you to hold me
This body aching for a touch
That stays when it gets rough
I’m tired of being lonely
Talking to the ceiling slowly
I just want somebody
Somebody to want me
[Bridge]
Do you ever
Lay awake and reach for air? (oh)
Wonder if I’m out there
Wonder if you care
’Cause I’m right here
Too alive to feel this empty
Calling out to anyone
Who might be calling me
[Chorus]
I’m tired of being lonely
Heart begging you to hold me
This body aching for a touch
That stays when it gets rough
I’m tired of being lonely
Talking to the ceiling slowly
I just want somebody
Somebody to want me

Slow, moody R&B ballad with male vocals; soft electric piano and warm sub-bass, brushed drums and distant reverb-y guitar. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d, building into a wider, layered-voice chorus with gentle harmonies. Subtle rises into each hook, then a stripped-down bridge that drops instruments to just keys and voice before a final, resigned chorus.
