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
