middle of nowhere

[Verse 1] I remember thinking I’d never be alone Holding onto a voice that existed only in my mind But the silence now is colder than the snow under my feet And I’m left to wonder whether he was ever truly real [Chorus] And I’m here in the middle of nowhere My heart feels hollow, like a cabin left to freeze My breath hangs heavy in the icy air Where every step leads me deeper into quiet grief I’m alone with the ghosts I conjured Who disappear when I finally reach out Nothing echoes back in the middle of nowhere Where hope and frost blur together somehow [Verse 2] I’m twenty-five and losing faith in my own reflections The wind is howling, as if mocking my once-certain dreams He was a safe place I built inside my head But now that place feels like a vacant, snow-covered field [Refrain (Optional Variation / Mini-chorus)] I’m trying to find a moment of warmth A flicker of reason to stay here or go But the only answer is the hush of this winter It offers no comfort, only the slow drift of time [Bridge] I’ve been searching my thoughts, combing through echoes Wondering if I made him up just to feel less alone But these footprints in the snow keep vanishing too And I’m left with the chill of believing in something I can’t hold [Final Chorus] So I stand in the middle of nowhere My heart an empty space I can’t seem to fill The sky stretches on in endless gray And I’m frozen in questions I can’t keep still There’s no path home in this solitude Only the realization I must face I was never really lost in the middle of nowhere— Just lost inside myself, needing something real to chase [Outro] The snow whispers a lullaby I almost recognize, But it’s a memory that never truly belonged to me.
