Living in a world where the silence screams, Thoughts in my head, shattered like broken dreams. Waking up alone, just me and the night, Searching for a spark, but it’s out of sight. I’ve built these walls, high and so cold, Fighting my battles, but I’m tired and old. Got no one to lean on, just shadows and fears, Wanting a connection, but I drown in my tears. Desire for a friend, just someone to see, To share the weight of this loneliness with me. Don’t need no romance, just a hand to hold, In this empty room, I’m feeling so cold. Every smile I fake feels heavy on my face, Living in this bubble, can’t find my place. Scrolling through the pictures, everyone’s so close, While I sit in silence, feeling like a ghost. I watch the laughter, the warmth in their eyes, While I’m trapped in a maze of endless goodbyes. Just a simple text, a call in the night, But I’m stuck in the shadows, can’t find the light. Desire for a friend, just someone to see, To share the weight of this loneliness with me. Don’t need no romance, just a hand to hold, In this empty room, I’m feeling so cold. Maybe I’m afraid to let anyone in, Scared of the closeness, scared of the spin. But deep in my heart, I know I can’t fight, This longing for a bond, for someone to ignite. So I’ll take a step, let my guard down low, Reach out through the darkness, let my feelings show. Just a friend is all I want, someone to confide, To walk through this life and take it in stride. Desire for a friend, just someone to see, To share the weight of this loneliness with me. Don’t need no romance, just a hand to hold, In this empty room, I’m feeling so cold. So here’s to the hope, to the dreams that I chase, Finding the courage to open up space. With every heartbeat, I’ll let the world in, Desire for a friend, let the journey begin.
