[Verse 1 - soft, minimal, intimate]
Table for one
Yeah I know that place
Phone stays dark
No name, no face
Used to wait
Just to hear it ring
Now I sit
Don’t expect a thing
Chairs stay empty
I don’t mind
Got real quiet
In my own mind
[Pre-Chorus - light build]
If they leave
I don’t chase
Seen too much
To beg them to stay
[Chorus - stronger, darker but still natural]
You can’t break me
I’ve been alone
Sat in silence
Built my own
Lost some people
Let ’em go
That’s the price
Of what I’ve grown
I don’t wait
For validation
I outgrew
That conversation
If they push me
I won’t fold
I found strength
Eating alone
[Verse 2 - grounded, sharper, more edge]
Heard my name
When I wasn’t there
Same fake smiles
Same blank stares
Cut me off
Like I’d fall apart
But I learned
How to guard my heart
Closed doors
Didn’t take me out
Just showed me
What I’m about
[Pre-Chorus - stronger]
If they talk
Let them speak
I found peace
When it was just me
[Chorus - bigger, more weight]
You can’t break me
I’ve been alone
Sat in silence
Built my own
Lost some people
Let ’em go
That’s the price
Of what I’ve grown
I don’t wait
For validation
I outgrew
That conversation
If they push me
I won’t fold
I found strength
Eating alone
[Bridge - stripped, real, no fluff]
No applause
No one clapped
No one told me
I’d make it back
Just me there
In that room
Learning how
To face the truth
[Break - quiet]
(soft)
I got used to it…
(soft)
Being on my own…
[Final Chorus - full, confident, resolved]
You can’t break me
I’ve been alone
Sat in silence
Built my own
Lost some people
Let ’em go
That’s the price
Of what I’ve grown
I don’t wait
For validation
I outgrew
That conversation
If they push me
I won’t fold
I found strength
Eating alone
[Outro - calm, controlled]
No crowd…
No noise…
Still standing…
My choice…
