Verse 1
Bass in my chest like a second heartbeat
Lights cut the room into people I don’t keep
I fix my smile in a bathroom line
Say “I’m good, I’m fine” like the tenth time tonight
Walk past faces I halfway know
“Hey! How’ve you been?” “Good!” “We should catch up though”
We never do, but we say it anyway
They drift back into someone else’s day
Pre-Chorus
I keep circling the same four walls
Like maybe I’ll land where I belong
Chorus
It’s too loud to feel this alone
In a room full of people I don’t know
They’re laughing like they’ve got somewhere to be
And I’m stuck in between
Every glance and every goodbye
Every “we should hang” that’s a lie
I came here to feel less on my own
But it’s too loud to feel this alone
Verse 2
Someone spills their drink on my sleeve
Says “Oh my God, I’m so sorry,” then leaves
Sticky floor, cheap perfume in the air
I laugh it off like I even care
Girls in the corner taking flash photos
Boys with their arms around girls they won’t know
Tomorrow morning, but tonight they fit
And I’m outside of all of it
Pre-Chorus
I try to dance like I’m in on the joke
But my body knows that I’m just a ghost
Chorus
It’s too loud to feel this alone
In a room full of people I don’t know
They’re stumbling drunk, they’re touching, they’re free
And none of it reaches me
Every “hey girl!” fading to air
Every small talk going nowhere
I came here to feel less on my own
But it’s too loud to feel this alone
Bridge
I’m not drunk enough to disappear
Not sober enough to be clear
I keep checking my phone like it might save me
Like someone somewhere might need me
What was the point of getting dressed up
Of showing up just to feel stuck?
I trace the exit with my eyes
Like maybe leaving’s the prize
Breakdown (soft)
Coat in my hand, one foot out the door
Heart doing less than it did before
City’s still buzzing but I’m done
Trying to be anyone
Final Chorus
It’s too loud to feel this alone
So I step outside and call it home
Let them have their neon nights
Their blurry laughs, their flashing lights
I gave it a shot, I showed my face
But I can’t fake my way through this place
I came here to feel less on my own
But I feel better going home
Outro
Streetlight quiet, finally breathe
Maybe the problem wasn’t me
Maybe some rooms just aren’t my own
Even when they’re full
I’m alone.
