[Intro – half-spoken, casual, fake confidence] Hey— nah it’s cool, you don’t gotta stay long or anything I’ve got cigarettes if you want one Monster and Jäger too, it’s kinda gross but it works You can sit if you want I’m just waiting on some people (…yeah, me too) **[Verse 1]** I sat at Café Luca like it meant something Like I wasn’t just killing time badly Checking the door every five minutes Like someone owed me a showing Told myself “people might swing by” Like that wasn’t a straight-up lie Fake friends with flexible morals Only loyal if there’s something to buy I brought free cigarettes like an offering Monster mixed with Jäger in a cup I don’t even like this shit anymore I just wanted someone to sit the fuck down --- **[Pre-Chorus]** I don’t need love I don’t need deep I just don’t wanna be By myself this week --- **[Chorus]** I don’t care who you are I just want someone next to me I’ll pay for your drinks I’ll listen to your story I know I look pathetic Sitting here like I’m chosen Waiting for people who forgot me Like it’s not already obvious --- **[Verse 2]** I said “pull up anytime” Knowing damn well they wouldn’t Kept my phone face-up on the table Like that would change something I bribed companionship with nicotine And whatever buzz I could afford If this is community, then fuck man I should’ve stayed bored at home I pretend I’m detached But I flinch every time the door opens Like maybe this time it’s real Like maybe I won’t be invisible --- **[Pre-Chorus]** I don’t need saving I don’t need advice I just want a body In the chair beside --- **[Chorus]** I don’t care who you are I just want someone next to me I’ll share my smoke I’ll pour you something I know this isn’t charming I know this isn’t cool I’m just tired of pretending I don’t feel fucking alone --- **[Bridge]** I could’ve stayed home But home feels radioactive At least here someone might walk past Even if they don’t stay I keep confusing proximity With connection And calling it “social” So I don’t have to say rejection --- **[Outro]** So I sit And sip And wait Not because I believe in anything But because it’s better Than admitting No one’s coming.
