[Verse]
Saw the sunset on an empty road,
Another promise gone, another heavy load.
Folks around here, they talk but never stay,
Guess I’m better off just walking my own way.
[Verse 2]
Granddaddy's words echo in the night,
“Trust's a gamble, girl; don’t roll the dice.”
Every time I let somebody near,
They leave me with nothing but tears.
[Chorus]
People always disappoint, so I'll stick to myself,
Found more comfort in an old dusty shelf.
Solitude's a friend, always by my side,
In this quiet life, no more heartaches to hide.
[Verse 3]
Saw a neighbor waving from her yard,
I could wave back but it's just too hard.
Last time I reached out my hand,
Wound up all alone, barely could stand.
[Chorus]
People always disappoint, so I'll stick to myself,
Found more comfort in an old dusty shelf.
Solitude's a friend, always by my side,
In this quiet life, no more heartaches to hide.
[Bridge]
Under the stars, where the crickets sing,
I find peace in the stillness it brings.
No expectations, no chance to fall,
Just me and the night, that's all.
