Lonely stranger

Can’t live life solo, the house feels cold, Same ends, same pain, getting dragged through roads. Lost what I had, now it haunts my steps, Every night replaying what I never left. street lights flicker like my will to cope, Phone stays silent but I still check notes. Man’s heart heavy, got cracks in the frame, Smile for the mandem, still wrapped in the pain. Love weren’t a game, it was blood and breath, Now I wake up daily having chats with death. World full of hate, no grace in the air, Everybody out here but nobody cares. Searching for a soulmate in a city of scars, Broken people raising broken little stars. If she was my whole, then I’m half at best, Just a walking man with a hole in his chest. HOOK (8 bars) I can’t live life alone, yeah the nights get long, Heart still bleeding but I write these songs. Haunted by the past, by the love I lost, Every step I take still paying that cost. Incomplete soul in a world so cold, Streets show you pain before they show you gold. If love’s my crime then I’m doing time, Still searching for her at the end of the line. VERSE 2 (16 bars) I talk to her ghost when the blocks go quiet, Same four walls, man’s mind turns violent. Not with fists, nah—violence within, Trying not to drown in the state I’m in. They say “man up”, like grief’s got a switch, Like love ain’t deep, like loss don’t itch. I’ve seen hard men fold over one text, So don’t tell me feelings make a man less. She was peace in a life full of noise, Now I’m stuck round pain and paranoid thoughts. Every girl different but the ache’s the same, Cos my heart don’t move, it still screams her name. I’d bleed for a chance just to sit and talk, Cos closure ain’t real when you really lost. If I find her again I won’t waste one breath, If I don’t… I’ll carry this till death.
