NF - Only

[Chorus: Sasha Sloan]

I can't be the only one who's lonely tonight

I can't be the only—

[Verse 1: NF]

Yeah, does anybody feel like me?

Show of hands, I don't need a lot, I just wanna find my peace

Yeah, why you throwin' rocks, oh, you wanna kill my dreams?

Okay, tell me everything I'm not

You think I didn't know those things?

Always been a little lost and I still might be

Life's hard, but it's okay (It's okay)

Watchin' the comments feels like I'm at a court date

How could I complain

With a house like this and a car like that in the driveway?

Half of what I say

Kinda feels like a dream that I'm gonna wake from someday

Wishin' that I'd pray

A little more often and put more time into my faith

Travel in my brain, woo, might find damage and no grace

Things that I hold on to, but I won't say things that I won't let go

So I chain my soul to the heartbreak

Havin' a nice day, that's not a average in my case

Don't like cameras in my face; glamour, it's all fake

Love my job, but it might seem odd that I'm here 'cause I hate fame (Oh)

Yeah, pay my debt to me, throwin' threats at me

They can't tell, disconnectin' me, it's affectin' me

Hide that well, they'll write checks to me, but don't check on me

By myself, always questioning what comes next for me

I can't be the only—

[Chorus: Sasha Sloan]

No, I can't be the only one who's lonely tonight

No, I can't be the only—

[Verse 2: NF & Sasha Sloan]

Yeah, if you made a list of people that you trusted would you put your name down?

Do you know who you are when you look at life and you talk about yours, do you feel proud? (Lonely)

Are you leaving a mark, or scared to make a bad impression so you just go hide in the dark? (Lonely)

Livin' and playin' a part, knowin' regret'll come back up tomorrow

That's what it does, ain't it? Don't know what we're chasin', but we all do it

Just a part of life, I guess we're all foolish

Running after what we think will make us happy 'til it falls through (Lonely)

And then we find out later it ain't what we wanted

So we give up on it, then we pile the garbage (Lonely)

And we watch it grow and find a drug and numb it

'Til we hit the point that we can barely function

Am I motivated? Is my music dated?

Would I be the same if I was medicated?

Even therapists say I need medication

I avoid it, though, because I'm scared to take it

Am I the only one that has a loaded gun

That's full of doubts and memories to overcome?

And I complain about 'em when they shoot at me

But I know truthfully I like to load 'em up and let 'em—

That's so sad to see, that's so sad to see, I need help

They talk passively, then come after me by myself

Lost that half of me, God, there has to be someone else

Don't feel bad for me, I just can't believe that I'm lonely

[Chorus: Sasha Sloan]

No, I can't be the only one who's lonely tonight

No, I can't be the only—

[Bridge: Sasha Sloan, with NF]

There's gotta be somebody out there

There's gotta be somebody somewhere

Who needs company, and it's comforting to know

There's gotta be somebody out there

There's gotta be somebody somewhere

Who needs company, and it's comforting to know

[Chorus: Sasha Sloan]

I can't be the only one who's lonely tonight

No, I (I) can't be the only— (Only)

Can't be the only one who's lonely tonight

No, I (I) can't be the only—
