[Intro – 0:00–0:12]
(Yeah, yeah)
I been talkin' to the walls again,
They the only ones that listen when I'm fallin' in,
Got a thousand names inside my phone,
But nobody calls when I'm alone.
[Chorus – 0:12–0:36]
Nobody's really there when the lights go low,
Everybody says they care, then they turn ghost,
I been screamin' out for help through a broken soul,
But the louder that I cry, the more I'm alone.
Everybody loves you when you're doin' fine,
But they disappear when you're losin' your mind,
Got a heart full of scars that I never show,
Nobody's really there when you need 'em most.
[Verse 1 – 0:36–1:04]
Three in the mornin', staring at the ceiling,
Tryna find the words to explain what I'm feeling,
Smilin' in the pictures, but the pain ain't leaving,
Told 'em I was fine, they ain't know I was bleeding.
I gave my last dollar, gave my last chance,
Gave my whole heart, they ain't give a damn,
Everybody wants a piece of who I am,
But nobody wanna help when I can't stand.
I been fighting with the ghosts of my past,
Every good thing I touch never lasts,
They say, "Call me if you ever need a hand,"
Funny how they never pick up when I am.
[Pre-Chorus – 1:04–1:16]
And I don't wanna beg for somebody to stay,
Don't wanna keep chasing people walking away,
If love is supposed to heal all the pain,
Why does everybody leave me in the rain?
[Chorus – 1:16–1:40]
Nobody's really there when the lights go low,
Everybody says they care, then they turn ghost,
I been screamin' out for help through a broken soul,
But the louder that I cry, the more I'm alone.
Everybody loves you when you're doin' fine,
But they disappear when you're losin' your mind,
Got a heart full of scars that I never show,
Nobody's really there when you need 'em most.
[Verse 2 – 1:40–2:08]
I watched forever turn into a goodbye,
Watched a real smile become a fake lie,
People say they love you, never say why,
Then they leave you with the questions every nighttime.
I was everybody's shelter through the storm,
But when my sky broke, I was standing there alone,
Had to teach myself to make a house a home,
Had to learn that being lonely don't mean hope is gone.
Now I'm picking up the pieces off the floor,
I ain't begging for their friendship anymore,
If they knock, I ain't rushing to the door,
I know what my broken heart is worth fighting for.
[Outro – 2:08–2:25]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Nobody's really there, I know,
Had to find my way back on my own,
When the whole world turned to stone,
I found a little light inside my soul.
Nobody's really there when the lights go low,
But I'm learning how to stand here on my own.
(Yeah, yeah…)
On my own…
