lonely

She’s Only Lonely When She Sleeps G – D – Em – C Verse 1 She talks like she’s doing alright, Smiles through the day and the neon light. Keeps it together, keeps it clean, Like nothing ever broke her scene. But I’ve seen the truth when the house goes still, When the quiet hits and the world stands still. That’s when the mask don’t hold too tight, In the middle of a long, dark night. Chorus She’s only lonely when she sleeps, When the noise of the world finally leaves. When the silence cuts too deep, That’s where her secrets keep. She don’t cry when the sun is up, She just drinks from a broken cup. But when the dark comes creeping in, That’s when the war begins. Verse 2 She don’t ask for saving hands, Just learns to live the best she can. Keeps her pain tucked out of sight, Like a shadow she don’t invite. But I’ve heard her in the walls at night, Fighting ghosts she never liked. Whispered prayers she don’t believe, Still hoping someone hears her breathe. Chorus She’s only lonely when she sleeps, When the silence starts to creep. When the memories won’t keep, That’s where her heart gets weak. She’ll laugh like nothing ever hurts, Walk through fire, never flinch or curse. But when the lights all fade away, That’s when she starts to break. Bridge Don’t mistake her calm for gone, She’s been surviving all along. Strong enough to face the day, But night don’t let her stay that way. Final Chorus She’s only lonely when she sleeps, When the world don’t hear her speak. When the truth she buried deep, Finally starts to leak. She’s a storm in borrowed skin, Holding back what lives within. And when the darkness pulls her down… That’s where she can’t be found. Outro She wakes up fine… every time… Like nothing ever crossed her mind…
