Chased the Lonely

Intro

(Ohhh, yeah)

Mmm, baby...

Verse

Woke up every morning to an empty room

Coffee on the table, but no one to share the spoon

Streets felt so cold, walking home alone

Nights stretched forever, staring at my phone

Friends said I'm fine, but they didn't see

The quiet in my chest, how it weighed on me

Days blurred together, no color, no light

Just surviving, yeah, holding on tight

Pre-chorus

Then you walked in, like a soft summer rain

Turned my gray skies into something I can't explain

Your smile hit me, straight through the haze

Now I'm living, girl, in a whole new way

Chorus

Before you, my world was lonely, so lonely

Empty arms, empty heart, feeling only

But you came, and you stayed, made me whole again

Girl, my feelings for you, they're real, no pretend

I'd wait forever, respect every word you say

Your heart's your own, I'll love you that way

Yeah, genuine, baby, through night and day

You chased the lonely, now I'm here to stay

(Stay, stay)

Verse

Used to chase distractions, anything to fill the void

Late nights out, but joy I couldn't find

Mirror showed a stranger, lost in his own fight

Dreams felt distant, fading out of sight

Then your voice, your laugh, pulled me from the edge

Eyes that see me, like no one's ever did

Simple moments now feel like gold

With you beside me, story's being told

Pre-chorus

No more hiding, no more running scared

You showed me love, and now I'm prepared

To hold you gently, through whatever comes

Baby, you're the beat to my once-silent drums

Chorus

Before you, my world was lonely, so lonely

Empty arms, empty heart, feeling only

But you came, and you stayed, made me whole again

Girl, my feelings for you, they're real, no pretend

I'd wait forever, respect every word you say

Your heart's your own, I'll love you that way

Yeah, genuine, baby, through night and day

You chased the lonely, now I'm here to stay

(Here to stay, ohhh)

Bridge

I ain't the type to push or pull you close too fast

Gentleman through it all, making moments last

Your dreams, your path, I'll cheer from the side

No games, no pressure, just real pride

If you need space, I'll give it with grace

Every choice you make, I'll embrace

'Cause this love I feel, it's deep and true

Forever yours, in all that I do

(Mmm, yeah)

Chorus

Before you, my world was lonely, so lonely

Empty arms, empty heart, feeling only

But you came, and you stayed, made me whole again

Girl, my feelings for you, they're real, no pretend

I'd wait forever, respect every word you say

Your heart's your own, I'll love you that way

Yeah, genuine, baby, through night and day

You chased the lonely, now I'm here to stay

Chorus

Before you, my world was lonely, so lonely (so lonely)

Empty arms, empty heart, feeling only (only
