Late night echoes in an empty room City lights fading way too soon Used to fear the silence in my chest Like being alone meant I failed the test I watched people come and disappear Smiling faces hiding poison near Every promise turned into smoke Every forever ended broke And maybe the cold Wasn't trying to hurt me Maybe it showed Who was never worthy So if I walk alone tonight That's alright, that's alright I'd rather hear my heartbeat Than fake love wrapped in pretty lies And if the world grows dark and quiet I survive it, I survive it 'Cause loneliness hurts less Than being destroyed by the wrong hands Maybe solitude ain't paradise But it's better than noise I stopped begging people to stay Stopped losing myself just to make them stay There's peace in an unfinished chair No betrayal waiting there Some scars fade slow like rain on glass Some names disappear with the past Now I drink coffee in the morning light And for the first time, I feel alright The silence became Something close to healing No more playing games No more forced feelings So if I walk alone tonight That's alright, that's alright I'd rather hear my heartbeat Than fake love wrapped in pretty lies And if the world grows dark and quiet I survive it, I survive it 'Cause loneliness hurts less Than being destroyed by the wrong hands Maybe solitude ain't paradise But it's better than noise Maybe I was never empty Maybe I was overcrowded Too many voices in my head Too many people speaking loud And now the quiet sounds like freedom Now the quiet feels like home So if I stand alone tonight I'll be fine, I'll be fine I found pieces of myself I thought I'd never find And I don't need a thousand faces Just one soul that's honest Till then I'll keep my peace And hold it like a promise 'Cause loneliness can heal When the world is full of damage And being alone Is better than losing yourself for company
