[Intro]
Neon hums like a distant tide against the glass
A clock ticks in rain, the hallway sighs
[Verse 1]
In a motel of rain-streaked memories I wait,
Doors whispering names I almost forgot to tell myself
Sheets hold a map of shadows, your shadow stays near
But the bed is a harbor that never quite welcomes me here
[Pre-Chorus]
Light pools on the carpet, a pale confessional glow
I trace the lines of luck and lucklessness I know
[Chorus]
Lonely but not alone, I feel the night rearrange
A fleeting touch in the quiet, a spark that won’t sustain
I keep the memory like a key I lost in rain
What comes next is only a choice I must name here in the neon haze
[Verse 2]
The town exhales through the blinds, a muffled street parade
I fold a goodbye into the crease of my coat
The memory digs its heels into the edge of tomorrow
And I choose the silence that rings louder than hope
[Pre-Chorus]
Soft rain writes letters on the glass, a grammar of what remains
[Chorus]
Lonely but not alone, I feel the night rearrange
A fleeting touch in the quiet, a spark that won’t sustain
I keep the memory like a key I lost in rain
What comes next is only a choice I must name here in the neon haze
[Bridge]
If I walk away, the latch sighs back in approval
If I stay, I listen for a door I can’t unlock
[Chorus]
Lonely but not alone, I feel the night rearrange
A fleeting touch in the quiet, a spark that won’t sustain
I keep the memory like a key I lost in rain
What comes next is only a choice I must name here in the neon haze
[Outro]
The neon fades to the hum of dawn, a soft retreat
I walk toward the edge where endings learn to breathe
And in the decision, a small, stubborn resolve—
To walk on, carrying this light, notOwned by the night’s cold debt
