[Intro] Spent too many nights with silence Shadows filling up my room Spent too many decades staying quiet Learning how to take up no space I’ve been learning to keep fighting But I'm tired of carrying the weight I got real good at self-reliance But I’m ready for the truth [Pre-Chorus] Can’t keep waiting My heart’s aching For somebody To set me free I stopped waiting For permission To be wanted Or to be seen [Chorus] Lonely’s getting old, I’m breaking free No more empty space, it’s time for me Lonely's getting old, I'm choosing me No more shrinking down just to be sweet I won’t chase the dark, I’ll chase the light I won’t orbit hurt, I’ll build a life Lonely’s getting old, I’m breaking free I’m done with lonely nights [Verse 2] Every clock keeps ticking louder Time feels louder than before I don’t wanna waste more time Every year hits different lately If love’s a flame, I need the fire If love is real, it’s not gonna save me To finally make it mine But I'm open to something more [Pre-Chorus] Can’t keep waiting My heart’s aching For somebody To set me free No more proving I’m worth supporting Baby, I’m solid I’ve found community [Chorus] Lonely's getting old, I'm choosing me No more empty rooms inside of me Lonely’s getting old, I’m breaking free No more empty space, it’s time for me I won’t chase the dark, I’ll name the light I won’t chase the dark, I’ll chase the light I’m done with a lonely life I’m done with lonely nights [Bridge] Lonely had its hold on me But I won’t let it steal the dream I know love is meant to be And it’s calling, calling me I was strong when I had to be Now I’m soft without apology I don’t need a rescue scene Just someplace that knows the shape of enough [Final Chorus] Lonely’s getting old, I’m breaking through Not because of you, but what I choose Lonely’s getting old, I’m breaking free Stronger than before, I’m choosing me I won’t fear the quiet anymore I know what my heart’s for I won’t chase the dark, I’ll chase the light I’m done with lonely nights [Outro] Lonely’s getting old (hey!) Lonely’s getting old (yeah) Stronger than before (hey!) I’m still standing tall (yeah) I don’t need it anymore And I don’t need it anymore Lonely’s getting old (hey, yeah) Baby, I choose what comes next
