He wasn’t always this quiet,

Once his heart could chase the rain.

Now he hides behind the silence,

Drownin’ in his own pain.

He used to dream about forever,

Used to mean what he would say.

But time has turned his fire to embers,

And love just slowly slipped away.

He don’t love you, he’s just lonely,

Reachin’ out for what he lost.

You’re a moment in his darkness,

A heart to warm the frost.

He don’t love you, he’s just lonely,

Tryin’ to fill an empty space.

You’re the comfort he remembers,

Not the one he wants to chase.

He’ll kiss you like he’s needin’ you,

Like you’re the air he’s breathin’ in.

But when the morning light comes softly,

He’ll be gone like he’s always been.

He’s not heartless — just a stranger

To the man he used to know.

Every love he’s ever given

Left another scar to show.

He don’t love you, he’s just lonely,

Tryin’ to feel the way he did.

You remind him of a softer time,

When his heart never sinned

He don’t love you, he’s just lonely,

Fighting ghosts he’ll never see.

He’s not yours — he’s just reachin’

For who he used to be.
