Midnight Don't Answer
Bobby ChillsReleased: May 15, 2026
“Midnight Don’t Answer” is the debut album from Bobby Chills, a soul-blues singer built for empty rooms, last calls and memories that refuse to sleep. Across the record, Bobby traces the long shadow of heartbreak, moving through grief, regret, longing and emotional reckoning with a voice that feels worn, honest and deeply lived-in. The album sounds like the hour when the streets are quiet but the past is still wide awake. Its songs sit in the space between soul confession and blues testimony, where love has gone but the feeling has not. Midnight Don’t Answer introduces Bobby Chills as a voice for lonely nights, unanswered questions and the kind of heartbreak that only gets louder after dark.

Lyrics
Ooh Ooh Midnight shows up Every night Wide and quiet Out of sight I have asked these same old questions Before If midnight had an answer It would have told me all Midnight don't answer No matter what I call - 02The Night Won't Let Me Rest4:504:50
Lyrics
The night comes falling on me Like it knows my name I close my eyes but every memory Starts calling me again I tried to drown the silence But it only grew Every sound in this dark room Leads me back to you I hear your voice in echoes In the ticking of the clock Every second feels like judgement Every moment will not stop I tell myself I am stronger Than the truth I try to fight But my heart keeps breaking open Every night I make excuses in the daylight Wear a smile like armour on my face But when the shadows start talking I cannot escape The night will not let me rest It pulls the truth out of my chest Every lie I told myself Falls apart when I am left Here alone with what I lost And the love I did not save The night keeps telling me the truth I am the one to blame I had love right in my hands And I let it slip away Thought I had all the time I needed Till tomorrow came too late Now the walls feel like witnesses The ceiling knows my shame Every dream I tried to bury Calls your name The night will not let me rest It pulls the truth out of my chest Every lie I told myself Falls apart when I am left Here alone with what I lost And the love I did not save The night keeps telling me the truth I am the one to blame Morning light can lie to me But the dark always tells it straight When the night will not let me rest I face the love I let escape - 03We Were Almost Right4:064:06
Lyrics
We talked like we had time to burn Like it would all work out Said the right things out loud Just never when it counted I felt it every time you went quiet I just let it slide Thought love would find a way on its own If we gave it time We kept saying nothing was wrong Just tired just busy just life But silence has a way of telling you What you already know inside We were almost right Close enough to believe Hands on something real But we would not reach Yeah we were almost right But almost fades with time If love needs nerve to stay alive We ran out just shy You waited on me to open up I waited on you to stay Both of us standing in the doorway Letting another moment slip away I see it clear in the rear view now Every inch where we stalled We kept hoping the other would move So neither moved at all I do not blame you I hope you know I was not brave when it mattered most Some loves are real But miss their chance They do not fall apart They just do not stand We were almost right And that is the shame Not that it ended Just how close we came Yeah we were almost right And I live with that Some things you do not lose all at once You lose them inch by inch like that Almost right Yeah almost right - 04Cheaper Staying Than Leaving2:372:37
Lyrics
It is cheaper staying than leaving That is the cold hard truth It costs a lot to be lonely When you have already paid your dues I might lose a little freedom Might lose an argument or two But it is cheaper staying than leaving Girl especially with you My friends down at the corner bar Say man you better run Say peace of mind is priceless You only live one time son But none of them pay my mortgage None of them tuck my kids in bed None of them will split these losses If I listen to what they said Judge do not care about your feelings Lawyer do not care who was wrong That pen hits paper real quick And suddenly half your life is gone Love might be complicated But divorce is crystal clear One takes work and patience The other takes everything you built here She softens up just a little Sits beside me on the chair Says I do not want your money I just want to know you care Because it is cheaper staying than leaving But money is not the crime It is cheaper staying than leaving But love is the bottom line If I stay let it be for real now Not just fear of losing ground Because it is cheaper staying than leaving But I still want you around - 05Ain't No Comfort In This Town Tonight4:314:31
Lyrics
Ain't no comfort in this town tonight Ain't no warmth when the sun goes down You can scream your heart into the pavement Still no love comes back around Streetlights flicker like they tired of me Neon crying down these empty roads Every window got a story inside But none of them want mine told I walked past lovers holding on tight Like I was something they couldn’t see Even my shadow turned away When it noticed it was following me I asked the night for a little mercy It just whispered keep moving on Ain't no comfort in this town tonight Ain't no warmth when the sun goes down You can scream your heart into the pavement Still no love comes back around I gave my soul to these cold streets They took my pride they took my name Ain't no love waiting on me here Just echoes calling out my pain Every bar got a broken man Every glass knows my face Bartender don't even ask no more He pours regret and lets it stay If love ever lived here It packed up and caught a train Left this city talking to itself Teaching loneliness my name I would leave if I knew where to go But even leaving hurts the same Ain't no comfort in this town tonight Ain't no warmth when the sun goes down You can cry till your voice is empty Still no love comes back around I gave my soul to these cold streets They took my pride they took my name Ain't no love waiting on me here Just echoes calling out my pain Streetlights fading into dawn Still got nowhere left to be If this city ever learns to love It wont start with me - 06Midnight Don't Answer5:565:56
Lyrics
Another night just leaning on the wall Streetlight flicker crawling up the floor I have asked these same old questions before They never sound different anymore The clock keeps talking like it knows my name Every minute feels exactly the same I keep waiting on a sign or a sound But nothing moves when midnight comes around I keep listening Like something might break But the dark just stretches And refuses to speak Midnight don't answer No matter what I call I have asked these same old questions And they never move at all Midnight just listens While the hours fall If midnight had an answer It would have told me all I sit awake till the dark turns thin Morning always finds me like this again I do not pray I do not shout I just sit with the things I never figured out Some nights I talk just to hear a voice Not asking for help not given a choice I do not blame it I understand Some things were never meant to be planned Midnight don't answer No matter what I call I have asked these same old questions And they never move at all Midnight just listens While the hours fall If midnight had an answer It would have told me all If midnight had an answer It would have told me by now - 07Can't Keep Up With Me3:073:07
Lyrics
Uh Yeah Come on now Hey I wake up late but I move real fast Shoes still shine from a hard earned past They say slow down boy act your age I just laugh light another flame Clock on the wall telling lies again Heart beat heavy like a backroom band You can talk all night till your throat goes dry But I already crossed that line You can't keep up with me No no no You can't keep up with me Feet still hot on the old street beat You can't keep up with me Money talks but it stutters round here Truth walks in with a cold hard stare I been low I been broke I been bent Still standing where the others went Every scar got a story to tell Every step hear the old shoes yell If you think I'm done just wait and see I ain't dragging chains they dragging me You can't keep up with me No no no You can't keep up with me I don't run but I don't retreat You can't keep up with me Hey Listen Drums keep talking Bass keep walking Hands in the air now Say it Who still moving I am Who still grooving I am Who still burning I am You can't keep up with me You can't keep up with me Yeah That's right Still here Still moving - 08Still Standing5:435:43
Lyrics
Mm Yeah Listen I been walking these streets with my head hung low Every door I knocked on just told me no I gave my heart like it was nothing to lose But every promise I trusted turned into blues I learned the hard way how silence feels When love looks warm but it ain't real I kept on smiling like I was strong But the nights been teaching me I been wrong They said time heals every scar you wear But time just taught me how to stand there And take the pain And say my name But I am still standing Still breathing through the fire Still holding on to something They said would expire I am still singing Though my voice been through hell If loving you broke me Then breaking made me myself I watched my reflection crack in the glass Saw every ghost of my broken past I loved you deeper than words could say But you let go like it was yesterday I carried the weight of the truth alone Built my faith out of skin and bone I bent but I did not fold This heart survived the cold They said boy you better let it go But they never felt this soul When it aches When it shakes I am still standing Still breathing through the fire Still holding on to something They said would expire I am still singing Though my voice been through hell If loving you broke me Then breaking made me myself Oh You can take my tears You can take my pride But you will never take the part of me That stayed alive I been down on my knees I been close to the edge But every scar on my chest Is a badge Sing it now I survived the lonely I survived the night I survived loving you With everything inside I am still standing Can you hear me now From the ashes of my heart I am rising somehow I am still singing This is my rebel yell If loving you broke me Then breaking made me myself I am still standing Let the whole world know You can wound my heart But you cannot own my soul Mm Yeah Still standing Still here - 09When The Room Gets Quiet3:433:43
Lyrics
When the room gets quiet And the lights go low I hear things I been running from Things I do not want to know All day I stay busy Tell myself I am alright But the truth comes talking to me Every night I tell myself I am over you Say your name like it do not hurt But my heart keeps replaying moments I wish I could reverse I smile when people ask me Say I am sleeping fine But my mind keeps pacing circles Every night It is always after midnight When I cannot hide When the room starts telling secrets I been keeping locked inside I did things I cannot undo Said words I should not say I thought pride would keep me standing But it just pushed love away I lay here with the ceiling Listening to time As my conscience keeps reminding me Every night When the room gets quiet And there is nowhere to go That is when I finally hear the truth I already know - 10The Road Knows My Name4:244:24
Lyrics
Streetlights blinking like they know me Every turn feels the same Hands move without thinking I do not even check the name Radio talks to nobody Just noise to fill the space I have been down this road so long The road knows my name I am not lost I just keep moving Like stillness might feel worse Every mile buys me a minute From the weight I carry first I do not know where I am going I just know I cannot stay Every line I keep on crossing Looks like yesterday I do not need a sign to tell me What I already became I might forget who I was meant to be But the road knows my name The mirror shows a tired stranger Eyes fixed straight ahead Every thought rides shotgun Every word we never said I swore I was done running Swore I had changed my ways But I keep finding comfort In the miles that fall away I tell myself this is freedom But it feels too well rehearsed I am not chasing something better I am just outrunning hurt I do not know where I am going I just drive until it aches Every promise I meant to keep Is another exit I take I do not need forgiveness Or someone else to explain I might not recognise myself tonight But the road knows my name If I stopped I would feel it If I stayed I would break So I keep the wheels turning Like motion is what saves Some nights are made for answers Some nights just pass you by This one keeps on rolling Just like my life I do not know where I am going But I know why I came I was looking for a moment Where I did not feel the blame I will find my way back someday I just do not know when I lose myself out here sometimes But the road knows my name The road knows my name Yeah the road knows my name - 11Where Does That Leave Me5:225:22
Lyrics
You say you need some time now Say you are confused But you still lean on me Like I am the one you choose You tell me I am patient Say I understand But every time you walk away You leave me where I stand I hear your words But feel your doubt Every promise fades out loud If you need love If you need space If you need someone to hold your place Tell me honestly Where does that leave me If your heart keeps pulling free Where does that leave me I watch you chasing shadows Calling someone else's name You come back when it falls apart And expect me just the same I do not need perfection I just need the truth Do not ask me to keep loving While you decide what you want to do I been standing in between Everything you say and mean If you need love If you need space If you need someone to hold your place Tell me honestly Where does that leave me If your heart keeps pulling free Where does that leave me I am not asking for forever Just a reason to stay Do not keep me waiting While your feelings drift away If you need love If you need space If you need someone to hold your place Tell me honestly Where does that leave me I have given you the best of me Where does that leave me - 12Stop Playing Games With Me3:233:23
Lyrics
You say you coming over But you never show on time Every time I call your number Girl you say you changing lines You tell me I am your only Then I hear another name I am tired of second guessing While you acting like it is a game Stop playing games with me Stop dragging my heart around Stop playing games with me Girl do not run me into the ground If you want me then say so If you do not then let me be But stop playing games with me You show up sweet as honey When you need a place to land Then you disappear by morning With my trust still in your hand I see you laughing in the street With somebody I do not know You say it is nothing serious But your body tells me no Love should not feel like a puzzle Love should not feel like a test Every time I try to trust you You put my faith to rest I am a man not a toy now Do not wind me up and see How long before I break apart From what you keep doing to me Talk to me Tell me the truth I can handle it Just do not play me Stop playing games with me Stop turning hot then cold Stop playing games with me I am too grown for this road If you want to stay beside me Then stay where I can see But stop playing games with me I am standing right here waiting With my heart out in the open Make your move or walk away Just stop leaving me broken - 13These Tears4:424:42
Lyrics
House too quiet now, your scent is gone Clock just laughs at me, ticking on and on I reach across these cold and empty sheets Only pull back memories and defeat These tears are all I got left tonight Burning slow, falling just right Used to taste your lips, sweet like aged wine Now these tears are the only thing that's mine Pictures on my wall I can't let go Every frozen smile cuts me deep and slow I'd trade this bottle for one more lie Just to feel you in my arms one more time These tears are all I got left tonight Burning slow, falling just right Used to taste your lips, sweet like aged wine Now these tears are the only thing that's mine Lord I'm drowning, can't hold it no more Every drop's a prayer screamin' at heaven's door Come back baby… I'm beggin' on my knees These tears… Lord these tears… they're killin' me These tears are all I got left tonight Burning slow, falling just right Used to taste your lips, sweet like aged wine Now these tears are the only thing that's mine
