[Intro – gentle strum, close mic, almost whispered] I’ve been walking through the silence, Streets that echo just my name. Empty chairs and faded letters, But I light the lamp the same. [Verse 1] Morning starts with one cup only, Kettle sings to no one else. Every shadow on the doorway Teaches me to know myself. I’ve carried weight I never wanted, Held my breath against the cold. Still I sing into the quiet, Hoping someone hears the notes. [Chorus] On my own, I’ve been learning slow, How to turn the dark into something I know. On my own, I’ve been steady, strong— But the nights feel longer when the days are gone. And I whisper in the stillness, soft and low: I don’t want to live forever on my own. [Verse 2] Window glass reflects my silence, Stacked-up books and unpaid bills. Every laugh I hear outside me Stirs a longing I can’t still. I’ve loved and lost, the scars remind me Every heart can break in two. But even broken strings keep singing If there’s someone to retune. [Chorus] On my own, I’ve been learning slow, How to turn the dark into something I know. On my own, I’ve been steady, strong— But the nights feel longer when the days are gone. And I whisper in the stillness, soft and low: I don’t want to live forever on my own. [Bridge – fragile falsetto, one strum per line] If you find me where the shadows bend, Take this hand and call me friend. Every wall I’ve built will fall, I was never meant to stand so tall. [Final Chorus – hushed, almost breaking] On my own, I’ve been learning slow, How to carry silence everywhere I go. On my own, I’ve been steady, strong— But my voice feels softer when I sing too long. So I pray into the quiet, let it show: I don’t want to live forever on my own. [Outro – one last strum, breath fades] Not on my own. No, not on my own.
