Lonely

Verse 1

Phone face down on the nightstand, clock sayin’ 2:17 (yeah)

Empty side of the bed where your heart used to sleep with me (ooh)

City lights through the blinds, still I feel that silence loud (mm)

Used to talk for hours, now I’m tryna find you in the crowd (yeah)

Pour another drink but it don’t numb the shape of your name (no)

Tossin’ through these sheets like I’m lookin’ for a flame (ooh)

I call out your nickname, hope it echoes back with love (yeah)

But the only thing that answers is the ceiling and the dust


Pre-Chorus

Girl, I’m tryna hold on to the ghost of what we had (mm)

Every laugh, every fight, every moment good and bad (yeah)

I’m out here, lonely, tryna make you understand

That midnight ain’t the same without your hand


Chorus

I’m midnight lonely, miss the way you breathe on me (yeah)

Cold sheets and warm memories, I can’t sleep, baby (ooh)

I keep reachin’, keep hopin’, you gon’ come back home (home)

Tell me you need me, don’t leave me on my own

Midnight lonely, yeah, I’m feelin’ so alone


Verse 2

Used to ride through the city with your head on my chest (mm)

Now I drive past our spot like a man with no rest (yeah)

All these songs on the radio sound like they miss you too (ooh)

But they don’t know the way your laugh would make me new (no)

Friends say move on, but they don’t know the half (nah)

How it hurts to see your pictures and pretend that I don’t care (ooh)

I keep my pride in my pocket but it’s heavy as a stone (yeah)

Lonely in a crowd, still I’m callin’ out your name alone


Pre-Chorus

Girl, I’m tryna hold on to the ghost of what we had (mm)

Every laugh, every fight, every moment good and bad (yeah)

I’m out here, lonely, tryna make you understand

That midnight ain’t the same without your hand


Chorus

I’m midnight lonely, miss the way you breathe on me (yeah)

Cold sheets and warm memories, I can’t sleep, baby (ooh)

I keep reachin’, keep hopin’, you gon’ come back home (home)

Tell me you need me, don’t leave me on my own

Midnight lonely, yeah, I’m feelin’ so alone


Bridge (soft, pleading)

If love was a light, girl, you the only bulb that shined (mm)

I been searchin’ for the switch, tryna bring you back to mine (yeah)

Promise I’ll do better, promise I’ll show up right (ooh)

Just come lay with me until the morning takes the night


Breakdown (ad-libs, melodic runs)

Yeah, yeah—ooh, baby—mm, yeah—come home (come home)

I’m lonely, lonely—need you here (need you here)

Only you wipe away these tears (wipe away)


Chorus (final, bigger)

I’m midnight lonely, miss the way you breathe on me (yeah)

Cold sheets and warm memories, I can’t sleep, baby (ooh)

I keep reachin’, keep hopin’, you gon’ come back home (home)

Tell me you need me, don’t leave me on my own

Midnight lonely, yeah, I’m feelin’ so alone


Outro (soft, fading)

Midnight lonely—still callin’ your name (mm)

Come back and stop this midnight lonely game (yeah)
