Alone in the middle

Verse 1

I sit in rooms where the laughter’s loud

Smiling faces in a crowded house

Everybody talking, nobody hears

I nod my head, but I’m not really here

I’m standing still, but I fade somehow

Like a ghost in the background now

I say the right things, play my part

But nobody hears what’s breaking my heart

Pre-Chorus

I reach for hands, they slip right through

I’m inches close, but miles from you

I’m surrounded, still on my own

A full room, but it don’t feel like home

Chorus

I’m alone in the middle of everyone

So close, but I don’t belong

I’m screaming inside, but no one knows

This weight I carry everywhere I go

Yeah, I’m alone, even in the crowd

Lost in the noise, but I’m screaming loud

I’m right here, but I’m gone

God, I’ve never felt so alone

Verse 2

I hear my name, it don’t feel like mine

Like they’re calling someone else this time

Every laugh cuts a little deep

‘Cause I don’t feel what I’m supposed to feel

I watch people fall into place

While I’m stuck on the outside looking in

I’m waving through a wall of glass

Close enough to touch, but it never lasts

Pre-Chorus

I fade into the background sound

Just another face they pass around

I try to stay, I try to hold

But loneliness won’t let me go

Chorus

I’m alone in the middle of everyone

So close, but I don’t belong

I’m screaming inside, but no one knows

This weight I carry everywhere I go

Yeah, I’m alone, even in the crowd

Lost in the noise, but I’m screaming loud

I’m right here, but I’m gone

God, I’ve never felt so alone

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m scared

Maybe I learned how to disappear

Built these walls way too high

Just to keep from hearing goodbye

If someone stayed and looked too close

Heard the fear I never show

Would they hold me when I break

Or turn around and walk away?

I’m alone in the middle of everyone

Even with the lights turned on

I reach for love, but it slips right through

Like I was never meant to be held by you

Yeah, I’m alone, but I tried my best

To hide this ache inside my chest

I’m right here, but I’m gone

God, I’ve never felt so alone

So if you hear this song one day

And you feel the same damn way

You ain’t the only one holding on

Trying not to disappear alone
