**“LONELY” — REMIX**

Yeah
Late nights, cold rooms
Same pain, new moon
Look—
I been walkin’ through the city with my head down
Everybody say they love me, where they at now?
Used to dream about a stage and a packed crowd
Now I’m sittin’ in the dark, tryna back out
Of these thoughts in my brain, they been too loud
Smile in everybody face, but I’m broke down
I don’t even wanna talk, keep my phone down
Only time they ever call when they need somethin’ now
I gave my heart away, got a scar in return
Every bridge that I built, somehow I watched it burn
Had to learn being loyal don’t mean loyalty earned
Now I’m numb to the fire, I don’t feel when it burns
I been lonely, lonely
Even with a room full of people, nobody know me
Old friends switched sides, actin’ like they my homies
So I keep my circle small, ‘cause this world too phony
I remember nights I ain’t have nobody to call
Back against the wall, felt like nobody cared at all
Tears on my face, but I wiped ‘em before they fall
Had to teach myself to stand when I wanted to crawl
Mama said, “Keep faith, better days gon’ arrive”
But it’s hard keeping hope when you barely alive
Every day another battle just to feel alright
Every night another war I’m just tryna survive
I got memories I wish I could erase clean
People I still miss that I only see in dreams
Life ain’t really what they postin’ on the screen
Behind every pretty picture, somebody fighting demons unseen
I keep writing these verses like letters I never send
‘Cause the paper understand me better than some of my friends
If I tell you that I love you, I mean it until the end
I just pray you don’t become another wound I gotta mend
I been lonely, yeah, I know that feeling too well
Heart cold, but I’m still tryna wish everybody well
Been through heaven in my mind, been through pieces of hell
Got a story in my chest I’m still too scared to tell
Maybe one day I’ll wake up and the pain disappear
Maybe one day I can look at myself in the mirror
Without seeing every loss, every regret, every tear
I been running from my past, but it keep getting near
So I sit with it
Learn to live with it
Every scar on my soul got a little truth in it
If the world never loves me, I’ll still move with it
Turn the pain into a rhyme, put the whole booth in it
Yeah
I’m still lonely, but I’m standing
Still hurt, but I’m managing
Lost people I imagined would be here forever
Guess being alone taught me how to hold myself together
And if tomorrow never comes like I planned it
At least I left my heart inside these words where you can have it
I ain’t asking for no sympathy, I just had to let it breathe
Sometimes the loneliest person is the one nobody sees.
