Lyrics
Verse 1
She’s scrolling late, dressed up again
Chasing love from broken men
Bottom-shelf promises, empty words
While bedtime stories go unheard
She says she’s lonely, says she’s tired
Says she just wants to feel desired
But there’s little eyes down the hall
Wondering why they don’t feel chosen at all
⸻
Pre-Chorus
Lonely ain’t the same as alone
And love don’t live in somebody else’s phone
⸻
Chorus
You ain’t lonely, mama, you just forgot
Who needs you most and loves you nonstop
You keep looking for love in all the wrong places
While your babies are begging for time and your presence
Those men won’t save you, they won’t stay
But them kids remember every day
The love you’re chasing is already there
Sitting on the floor in a broken chair
⸻
Verse 2
He don’t help with bills or pain
Just adds more weight to your chain
You call it grown, call it free
But freedom don’t look like neglect to me
Your kids don’t need another “uncle”
Coming in and out, leaving trouble
They need consistency, safety, truth
Someone choosing them the way they choose you
⸻
Pre-Chorus
You’re pouring love into empty hands
While your whole heart’s calling from the back room, ma’am
⸻
Chorus
You ain’t lonely, mama, you just forgot
Who’s been loving you from the very start
You keep chasing men that drain your soul
While your babies just want you whole
They don’t care about your heartbreak story
They just want you present, not sorry
The love you’re missing ain’t out there
It’s calling you “Mama” from everywhere
⸻
Bridge (Spoken / Half-Sung)
Your kids don’t need perfection
They need protection
They don’t need a new man
They need their mama’s attention
Heal first
Choose them first
And watch how the loneliness breaks
⸻
Final Chorus
You ain’t lonely, mama, you’re needed here
In scraped-up knees and bedtime prayers
One day they’ll grow and walk away
And you’ll wish you had chosen different days
Don’t trade moments you’ll never get back
For temporary love that cracks
The greatest love you’ll ever find
Is already yours—every single time
⸻
Outro
Stop chasing what keeps leaving
Start loving what’s been waiting
She’s scrolling late, dressed up again
Chasing love from broken men
Bottom-shelf promises, empty words
While bedtime stories go unheard
She says she’s lonely, says she’s tired
Says she just wants to feel desired
But there’s little eyes down the hall
Wondering why they don’t feel chosen at all
⸻
