The Loneliest Muscle

V1

I count my steps, I count my scars,

I trade my carbs for protein bars,

But the silence echoes through my chest,

It’s the loneliness that never rests.

V2

I lift the weight, but not the phone,

Scroll through crowds and feel alone,

We sweat for youth, we train for grace,

But forget to love a human face.

PC1

Can I measure warmth in miles walked

Or count the hugs I’ve never clocked

Chorus

We build our bodies, break our hearts,

Run in circles, as we drift apart,

Connection’s science wrapped in art,

The loneliest muscle is the unloved heart.

What good’s a life, IF YOU LIVE IT ALONE

V3

We chase that glow beneath the skin,

But starve the soul we’re living in,

Our bodies bloom, our hearts decay,

We’ve learned to live the wrongest way.

V4

Got a mirror that don’t lie,

It shows the shape but not the “why,”

Abs of steel and eyes that weep,

Dreaming of the friends we keep.

V5

Doctors say to walk each day,

But never how to laugh and stay,

With someone who can bear your weight,

When life’s too heavy to negotiate.

PC2

What’s the use of a perfect form,

If your soul’s not feeling warm

Chorus

We build our bodies, break our hearts,

Run in circles, as we drift apart,

Connection’s science wrapped in art,

The loneliest muscle is the unloved heart.

What good’s a life, IF YOU LIVE IT ALONE

V6

We’ve got plans for diets, apps for sleep,

But no prescription for wounds that deep,

Counting macros, missing signs,

That love’s the true design.

V7

Cafés full of headphone dreams,

Silent rivers, crowded streams,

We talk in texts, we ghost in calls,

Social health still takes the fall.

V8

We’re fit for show, not fit for care,

Six-pack abs and empty stares,

The gym’s our church, the scale our god,

But meaning feels like a mirage.

PC3

Do we diet joy and feast on fear,

Just to stay alive another year

Chorus

We build our bodies, break our hearts,

Run in circles, as we drift apart,

Connection’s science wrapped in art,

The loneliest muscle is the unloved heart.

What good’s a life, IF YOU LIVE IT ALONE

Bridge

We’re born for rhythm, built for touch,

But somewhere stopped believing much,

That joy’s a team, not solo flight,

And love’s the muscle we ignite.

V9

There’s cardio and keto plans,

But none to hold a trembling hand,

We meditate yet isolate,

Peace deferred, connection late.

V10

I jog the park where smiles once lived,

Now filters do the love we give,

All the “likes” in the world can’t mend,

The loss of laughing with a friend.

PC4

Can health be found in lonely rooms,

Or only where connection blooms

Chorus

We build our bodies, break our hearts,

Run in circles, as we drift apart,

Connection’s science wrapped in art,

The loneliest muscle is the unloved heart.

What good’s a life, IF YOU LIVE IT ALONE

V11

We stretch our limbs, forget our roots,

Trade old truths for wellness pursuits,

Chasing health that shines, not stays,

While loneliness eats our days.

V12

I’ve seen the fittest hearts give in,

To what no treadmill can defend,

We’re living longer, loving less,

No vitamin cures emptiness.

V13

So I’m starting small, I’m reaching out,

To shake the dust of doubt about,

Maybe friendship is the hardest gym,

And I’m training love from within.

PC5

Is wellness real without a friend

Does strength still matter in the end

Chorus

We build our bodies, break our hearts,

Run in circles, as we drift apart,

Connection’s science wrapped in art,

The loneliest muscle is the unloved heart.

What good’s a life, IF YOU LIVE IT ALONE

Outro

Health’s not just a body’s song,

It’s who will sing when you are gone,

So train your love, your laugh, your trust,

The soul’s the muscle that won’t rust.
