Lonely in a Crowd Lyrics

The town's alive with laughter, but my heart's so alone

Surrounded by familiar faces, but inside I'm cold as stone

They talk of dreams and stories, but no one sees my pain

In this sea of people, it's like I'm caught in the rain

Coffee at the diner, small talk and empty smiles

But behind these eyes, I've been aching all the while

They say I'm always joking, the life of every show

But no one sees the secrets that I've buried down below

Lonely in a crowd, a heart that's lost at sea

So many voices round, but none that hear my plea

Soldiers in their battles, every person wears a mask

But who will stand beside me, when I'm too afraid to ask

Walking through the market, the vendors call my name

Passing friends and neighbors, but it's all just a game

I wear the mask they give me, pretending it's all right

But when the day is over, I can't find peace tonight

No light through the window, shadows on my wall

Pictures of the past here, but no one I can call

They talk of love and kindness, but my pain they can't see

I'm a whisper in the wind, just longing to be free

Lonely in a crowd, a heart that's lost at sea

So many voices round, but none that hear my plea

Soldiers in their battles, every person wears a mask

But who will stand beside me, when I'm too afraid to ask
