Alone Among the Many

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

Moonlight 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 frown, 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

Lonely in a crowd, a heart that's lost at sea So many voices frown, 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
