Lonely Song

(Verse 1) Years locked down, a golden cage, Pages turned, a brand new stage. Ring finger's bare, the echo's loud, Freedom whispers, in this restless crowd. Walkin' streets, head held up high, No late-night calls, no alibi. Do what I want, when I wanna do, This single life, a fresh tattoo. Midnight drives, no destination, Reclaimin' time, liberation. Bought that sports car, always wanted to, Sippin' whiskey, a panoramic view. (Chorus) Walkin' free, yeah, I'm walkin' free, This single life, was meant for me. But the streets are cold, the nights are long, This freedom's tune, sings a lonely song. (Verse 2) Empty house, echoes my name, Flickerin' screens, a digital flame. Used to argue 'bout the thermostat, Now the silence screams, where you at? Went to the bar, tried to pick up chicks, They ain't your laugh, ain't your little tricks. Ordered takeout, just for one, This independence, feels undone. Remember late nights, talkin' 'bout dreams? Now just the static, distorted beams. This open road, ain't what it seemed, Just a long, dark road, where my hope's been gleamed. (Chorus) Walkin' free, yeah, I'm walkin' free, This single life, was meant for me. But the streets are cold, the nights are long, This freedom's tune, sings a lonely song. (Bridge) Thought I wanted this, this solo flight, But the stars ain't shine as bright. Without your light, to guide my way, This freedom's price, I gotta pay. Damn, I miss your voice, your gentle touch, Miss your anger, miss you so much. (Verse 3) Scrollin' through pics, a bittersweet sting, Every memory, a painful thing. Used to think, I needed space, Now I'm drownin', in your empty place. This rebel yell, turned to a plea, Beggin' the universe, bring you back to me. Walkin' back now, head hung low, Hopin' you'll open, and say hello. (Outro) Walkin' back, yeah, I'm walkin' back, This lonely road, ain't where I'm at. This freedom's lie, I finally see, Come back, baby, come back to me. Come back to me…
