Only one alone

(Verse 1)
Another Friday night, neon buzzin’ low
Couples in the corner, slow dancin’ to a song I know
I’m sittin’ at the bar with a drink I didn’t need
Watchin’ everybody else get what never comes to me
They laugh like it’s easy, like love just falls in place
Like it ain’t a fight just to keep a smile on my face
I ain’t hatin’ on ‘em, I just wish I understood
Why it works for everyone else… but never for me like it should
(Pre-Chorus)
I try to shake it off, say “man, you’ll be alright”
But it hits a little harder every lonely night
(Chorus)
Yeah, I’m the only one alone in a room full of hearts
Everybody’s got somebody, I’m just fallin’ apart
Try to play it cool, but it cuts me deep inside
When I see ‘em holdin’ hands while I got nothin’ in mine
I’ve been lookin’ for love, but it keeps passin’ me by
Like I’m missin’ somethin’ they all seem to find
And I’m tired of pretendin’ that I’m doin’ just fine
Yeah, being single’s been breakin’ me… one night at a time
(Verse 2)
Tried the apps, tried the lines, tried bein’ myself
Tried not tryin’ at all, tried bein’ someone else
Every “hey” turns into nothin’, every spark fades out
Got me sittin’ here wonderin’ what it’s all about
My friends say “she’s out there, man you just gotta wait”
But it’s hard to keep believin’ when it’s always this late
And I hate feelin’ jealous, yeah that ain’t who I am
But it’s hard not to feel it when I’m the odd man
(Pre-Chorus)
I laugh it off in public, say I like the freedom
But truth is… I don’t even believe ‘em
(Chorus)
Yeah, I’m the only one alone in a room full of hearts
Everybody’s got somebody, I’m just fallin’ apart
Try to play it cool, but it cuts me deep inside
When I see ‘em holdin’ hands while I got nothin’ in mine
I’ve been lookin’ for love, but it keeps passin’ me by
Like I’m missin’ somethin’ they all seem to find
And I’m tired of pretendin’ that I’m doin’ just fine
Yeah, being single’s been breakin’ me… one night at a time
(Bridge)
Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m too damn real
Want somethin’ honest in a world that don’t feel
Like love ain’t a game, ain’t a one-night high
I just want someone who stays… not someone who says goodbye
(Breakdown – soft)
Yeah I’d give all these empty nights away
For one girl who’d actually stay
(Final Chorus)
I’m the only one alone in a room full of hearts
Still hopin’ someday I won’t feel this torn apart
Yeah I’m holdin’ on, even when it feels like a lie
That there’s someone out there who’ll finally be mine
And maybe one day I’ll look back at this time
All the hurt, all the wait, all the reasons why
But tonight I’m just here, barely gettin’ by
Yeah, being single’s been breakin’ me…
(Outro)
…just tryin’ to make it through another night
