Verse 1 I been single so long it feels like a sentence Clock on the wall don’t move, just stares like it’s restless Everybody else mess up, fall, get forgiven They call it growth, call it love, call it living I do it right, keep my hands clean, heart steady Still end up alone when the night gets heavy I line my life up, try to walk it straight Still feels like I’m the one God tells to wait I watch their stories like it’s my fault Laughing in pictures I was never brought Same roads, same scars, different ends They get arms around ‘em… I get “be strong, man” Pre-Chorus So I ask the mirror like it talks back Is it really me or am I just that bad Try to do good, still pay the price I don’t chase trouble but it finds me every time ⸻ Chorus When is it gonna be my turn To be more than the lesson I learned Everybody else breaks and still gets love Feels like mine just ain’t ever gonna come I smile through the day, play the part But night hits hard and tears me apart Tell me what I missed, tell me what I’ve done ‘Cause it feels like my time Ain’t ever gonna come ⸻ Verse 2 I’m walkin’ my life on a silk thread… Just one bad thought, from caving it all in…. Lonely rage fightin’ patience My heart just praying for answers… Ohhh…. I try to stay calm, try to stay clean.. Yeah… But the quiet brings back everything…, All them hands I held… names I don’t say no more… Just there ghosts lay next to me every night I stay awake… Ohhhh…. I watch love grow like it’s meant for them Weddings, kids, all that “amen” I clap for ‘em, I swear I’m proud Then go home… and I break it all down!! ⸻ Chorus When is it gonna be my turn To stop feelin’ like I’m the curse.. Yeah… Everybody else breaks and still gets love Feels like mine just ain’t ever gonna come I m trying to hold it together when the sun’s up But after midnight I’m all torn up, Tell me the truth, don’t soften it If I’m the problem… Then love just, Ain’t ever gonna come ⸻ Bridge (strip everything back — just voice + guitar) How many more nights can I watch from the side While they live their dreams and I live inside my mind How many more days can I fake being strong Before the quiet hits and I’m dead wrong I don’t need forever, I don’t need the world Just someone to see me, just someone to hold I’m tired of praying through clenched up hands Asking God why I’m the only one who stands alone I’m doing everything they told me was right So why am I still losing every night!!!! ⸻ Final Chorus (push the vocals — cracked, almost breaking) OHHHHH!! When is it gonna be my turn To stop feeling like I’m cursed Everybody else falls and still gets love Feels like mine just ain’t ever gonna come I laugh in the daylight, hide the ache But I fall apart when the lights go away Say it straight, don’t sugar it none If this is my story… Then love Ain’t ever gonna come ⸻ Outro (barely sung) I don’t want much… Just a hand in mine But all I do is remember The ones I used to hold While I watch Everyone else get held And I keep wonderin’… If my time for love Was never meant to come
