Lyric

I’m not lonely, no, I’m just used to the quiet

Long nights have been mine, since I can’t deny it

A single mug sits there, cold on the tray

The sound of it cooling, has so much to say

Staring at the screen, no notice, no chime

Watching the numbers, just wasting the time

Words meant for no one, locked inside deep

Coming to a standstill, promises I keep

Every time I say "I’m fine," I feel a little thinner

Trading my true heart for the role of a winner

Hiding my feelings, putting them away

Adding more shadows to the games that I play

I tried to wear a smile, and say I’m doing okay

But deep down inside, I’m just wishing you’d stay

If you could just notice, just see through the mask

It’s enough for today, it’s all that I ask

I’m not lonely, it’s true, I’m not a child anymore

I’ve learned how to measure the depth of the shore

But deep in the corner, where the heart finds a light

There’s a flicker of hope, in the middle of the night

Woke up from a dream, hearing you call my name

Bitter little laughter, playing the game

The nights I decide, "I’ll expect nothing more"

Are the nights I’m expecting you at my door

I forced myself to be strong, to carry the load

But I’m just a traveler on a lonely road

If you could just notice, just see through the pain

It’s enough to get through, and start life again

On the nights I can say "I’m doing just fine"

There’s a flood in my chest, crossing the line

I just want to be held, I just want you to know

I’m here in the shadows, please don't let me go

Even if my signal, is too quiet to hear

If it reaches you somehow, I’ll hold you near

Even if tomorrow, feels like a ghost

I’ll wait for the light, I’ll wait for the most

I’m not lonely…

But maybe, just a little
