Satisfied
Johnny Ray Allen Lyrics

Searched in the dark alleyways
I looked everywhere for someone to love, even in the bleakest and most hopeless places.

Where the lonely souls dwell
I searched in neighborhoods and areas where people are often isolated and disconnected from others.

Went down so low
My search for love took me to some dark and desperate places, and I felt like I had hit rock bottom.

Thought you went to hell
I was so lost and alone that I felt like I was in hell, without any hope of finding someone to love.

But you see daylight in the distance
Despite my desperation, I could still see a glimmer of hope, a possibility of finding someone to love and be loved by.

Not the end of your rope
I realized that there was still hope for me, even if things felt bleak and desperate.

And the light is dim
Even though the prospect of finding someone to love felt distant and uncertain, I could see a faint light that gave me some hope.

But it burns with hope
The faint light I saw gave me a spark of hope and encouragement, and reminded me that there was still a chance for happiness.

Try to find someone
I kept searching for someone to love and be loved by, even when it felt discouraging or hopeless.

Keep on walking strong
I knew that I had to stay committed to my search, even when it was difficult or painful.

With your heart open wide
I remained open and vulnerable to the possibility of love, even though it sometimes left me feeling exposed and vulnerable.

You'll be satisfied
I kept holding onto the hope that someday I would find someone to love and be loved by, and that this would bring me satisfaction and happiness.

And a bed of rocks is your bed
I felt like I was sleeping on rocks, or living in a difficult and uncomfortable situation.

Walk the halls at night
I wandered around in the dark, feeling lost and alone, sometimes unable to sleep or find comfort.

Only to shake your head
I felt disappointed and frustrated that I had not yet found someone to love, despite my efforts.

Where do the lost birds fly?
I wondered where people who felt lost and alone were supposed to go for comfort and companionship.

Maybe you were meant to be alone
I sometimes felt like maybe I was not supposed to find love, and that I would be alone forever.

'Cause love is not an easy thing, no
I learned that finding and maintaining love is not easy, and often involves struggle, pain, and sacrifice.

It's not the end because she's gone
Even if a relationship has ended, it does not mean that love is over and that there is no hope for the future.

Can't strike out unless you swing
You have to be willing to take risks and put yourself out there in order to find love; you can't succeed if you never try.

I know how you feel 'cause I've felt it too
I understand the pain and frustration of searching for love, because I have experienced it myself.

Just as bad as your searching for someone
There are other people out there who are also searching for love and companionship, and who share the same struggles and frustrations.

There is someone out there who needs you
Even if it feels difficult or impossible, there is someone out there who is looking for love and companionship, and who could be a perfect match for you.

You'll be satisfied
Holding onto hope and staying committed to searching for love will eventually pay off, and you will find satisfaction and happiness in a fulfilling relationship.
