Nick Knight - Lonely On Purpose

[Verso 1]


G 
Left my phone face down on the table 
Em 
Ain’t tryna talk, I’m barely stable 
C 
Coffee’s cold but I still sip 
D 
Staring out like I’m on a trip 

G 
No texts, no calls, no plans tonight 
Em 
Some folks worry, say “You alright?” 
C 
But I just smile and shake my head 
D 
I’m better off with peace instead 



[Refrão]

G 
I’m lonely on purpose, don’t feel bad 
Em 
Some silence is the best I’ve had 
C 
No fake “How are ya?” conversations 
D 
No heartbreak re-creations 

G 
Don’t need a crowd to feel okay 
Em 
I like it quiet at the end of the day 
C 
Some think I’m broken, but I’m just scratchin’ the surface 
D                         G 
Truth is, I’m lonely - on purpose 


[Verso 2]


G 
I’ve danced alone under porchlight skies 
Em 
Wrote sad songs and never cried 
C 
My kind of peace ain’t for sale 
D 
No spotlight, just a rusty rail 

G 
I ain’t hiding, I just roam 
Em 
Found a rhythm here alone 
C 
This kind of quiet is my friend 
D 
A story with no need to end 



[Refrão]

G 
I’m lonely on purpose, don’t feel strange 
Em 
Don’t need the world to rearrange 
C 
I’ve got my boots and a clear head space 
D 
My kind of heaven ain’t a crowded place 

G 
Don’t need saving, don’t need service 
Em 
No small talk makin’ me nervous 
C 
Call it weird or call it worthless 
D                        G 
But I’m proud to be lonely - on purpose 


[Ponte]


Em                 C 
Maybe someday I’ll want more 
G                      D 
But right now I just lock the door 
Em              C 
Solitude’s my favorite sound 
G                    D 
That’s where I feel solid ground 



[Refrão]

G 
Yeah I’m lonely on purpose, and that’s okay 
Em 
Not everyone walks the same way 
C 
Some chase love, some chase fame 
D 
I’m chasing sunsets with no name 

G 
Don’t need much, just the stars above 
Em 
No noise, no mess, no push to shove 
C 
I’m not broken, I’m just scratchin’ the surface 
D                         G 
Truth is, I’m lonely-on Purpose
