**Title: “Lit Alone”** **Vibe:** 2 AM, empty apartment, windows down on a highway. Pop-punk guitars meet Drake’s late-night flow. Defiant, a little lonely, mostly alive. --- **[Intro – half-spoken, over clean guitar]** 3 AM, just me and the ceiling fan No apology tour, no master plan Just a spark where my chest used to be And I’m finally good with the company --- **[Verse 1 – Drake melodic flow]** I used to hate the quiet, filled it with noise Borrowed hearts, borrowed time, borrowed poise Now the silence don’t feel like a debt It’s the first real friend that I ever met They struck the match, yeah, they lit the fuse But they left before the fireworks grew So I learned to burn on my own dime Turned my loneliness into a rhythm No “we,” just “me,” and the me is enough Empty room, full chest, yeah, the feeling’s rough But rough like a diamond before the polish I’m solo, not lost — I’m just honest --- **[Pre-Chorus – building, drums kick in]** So reason with this, think about it I got a plan and I don’t doubt it Heart was a ghost town, now it’s a riot You sparked the flame — I’m the one who keeps it quiet --- **[Chorus – MGK anthemic, big guitars]** I’m lit alone, yeah, I’m burning solo No hand to hold but I’m stealing the show Turned my shadows into a light show Every empty room is a place I grow So think about it, reason with this I don’t need a match to strike a kiss I’m the fire and the fist and the wish Lit alone, and I don’t miss --- **[Verse 2 – MGK rap-rock cadence, faster]** City lights are my entourage Streetlamps bow like they’re in my garage I’m the king of a castle made of quiet Crown made of sparks, throne made of riot They said, “You’ll burn out,” I said, “Watch me glow” I’m a one-man band with a one-man show No passenger seat, just my reflection And the rearview mirror holds no affection I’m current, like a live wire Present tense, like a new fire You lit the wick, then you dipped, that’s cool Now I’m the whole damn candle pool --- **[Bridge – drops low, melancholy creeps in, then rises]** And yeah, some nights the flame gets small And the walls feel ten feet tall And I swear I hear your name in the static But I don’t reach back — I’m not dramatic I just breathe, and I feed the spark Turn my little glow into a mark On the dark, on the dark, on the dark I’m alone but I’m not apart --- **[Final Chorus – full band, biggest energy]** I’m lit alone, yeah, I’m burning solo No hand to hold but I’m stealing the show Turned my shadows into a light show Every empty room is a place I grow So think about it, reason with this I don’t need a match to strike a kiss I’m the fire and the fist and the wish Lit alone, and I don’t miss --- **[Outro – fading, half-sung]** No apology, no duet Just me and a flame I won’t forget You sparked it, sure, but I kept it lit Alone, alive, and I’m good with it
