The Shape of Lonely (Song Version)
by Moonwolf
Key: A minor
Tempo: Slow and sultry (55–65 bpm)
Mood: Intimate
[Verse 1]
Am
I sit with silence like skin on skin,
F
In the spaces where your voice has been.
C
Some nights I still feel full of you—
G
The echoes, the heat, the quiet truth.
Am
The walls remember, the air still sighs,
F
Even the mirror holds your eyes.
C
But I rise slow, dressed in grace,
G
And carry you through light and lace.
---
[Chorus]
F C
Lonely isn’t empty, love—
G Am
It’s the curve of where you were.
F C
It’s the taste that lingers softly,
G Am
In every breath, in every stir.
F C
It’s the space between the heartbeats,
G Am
Where memory pulls tight.
F C
And maybe in this hush of now,
G Am
You still touch me in the night.
---
[Verse 2]
Am
Your ghost moves through my linen sheets,
F
In half-closed eyes and tangled heat.
C
But I don’t chase, I let you stay,
G
In the scent, in the shadows, in the way.
Am
Some love leaves marks without a bruise,
F
A longing I don’t want to lose.
C
So I wear it soft against my skin,
G
This ache that lets the light come in.
---
[Chorus]
F C
Lonely isn’t absence, no—
G Am
It’s where the wanting lives.
F C
It’s the hush between the kisses
G Am
That memory still gives.
F C
It’s the room you never entered,
G Am
But I still turn to find your face.
F C
And maybe what we couldn’t say
G Am
Still lingers in this space.
---
[Bridge – breathy, vulnerable]
F C
I was never truly alone…
G Am
Just reaching for someone to feel—
F C
Not fix me, not promise,
G Am
Just show me what’s real.
---
[Final Chorus – sensual, slow crescendo]
F C
Lonely isn’t broken, love,
G Am
It’s the shape I hold you in.
F C
It’s the warmth that never faded,
G Am
The hush beneath my skin.
F C
So come and sit inside this silence,
G Am
If you know what it means to stay—
F C
To touch without possession,
G Am
To feel without needing to say...
---
[Outro – soft whisper over fading chords]
F C
In this hush of now...
G Am
Understand I'll stay
