Lyrics

Score Loneliness

[Verse 1]
On the sidelines, I stand alone
Watching plays from the end zone
Every game, I wait and pray
Hoping for my chance one day

[chorus]
score loneliness, the bench is my home
cheering silently, watching my phone
in this game of games, I play my part
but never chosen, no one's sweetheart.

[verse 2]
In the love game, it's the same old play
my heart's on the line, day by day
somewhere along the way, the game is called
Red flags on the field, the game is stalled.

[bridge]
The crowd cheers, the heroes shine
I'm left behind on the borderline
I try my best, but it's not good enough
I guess I just don't have the right stuff

[Outro]
so here I sit, in the game of love
dreaming of learning how to use this glove
yet I'm never chosen as a mate
standing on the sidelines, left to wait.
