Alone Inside the Crowd

Verse 1

Phones light up but I don’t reply

Laughing faces passing by

I’m right here but miles away

Lost in what I couldn’t say

Every thought’s a loaded gun

Firing doubts one by one

No one sees the war I fight

Every day and every night

Pre-Chorus

I smile so they don’t ask me why

But I’m barely getting by

Chorus

I’m alone inside the crowd

Silent when it’s way too loud

In my head I can’t escape

Every thought begins to ache

I’m not broken, just afraid

Of the mess inside my brain

But a voice I almost hear

Says “just hold on, stay right here”

Verse 2

Breathing feels like work sometimes

Heavy chest and restless mind

Every step feels paper-thin

Like I’m about to fall within

But there’s a flicker, small but real

Something I can almost feel

Like a light I used to know

Telling me I’m not alone

Pre-Chorus

Even when it feels this way

Maybe it won’t always stay

Chorus

I’m alone inside the crowd

Silent when it’s way too loud

In my head I can’t escape

Every thought begins to ache

I’m not broken, just afraid

Of the mess inside my brain

But a voice I almost hear

Says “just hold on, stay right here”

Bridge

If I make it through tonight

Maybe I’ll be alright

Not okay, but not this low

And that’s enough to keep me going

Step by step, breath by breath

I’m not done, I’m not finished yet

Final Chorus

I was alone inside the crowd

Drowning in the noise so loud

But I stayed, I didn’t run

Even when I felt undone

There’s a strength I couldn’t see

Somewhere deep inside of me

And that voice is getting clear

“I’m still here… I’m still here”

Outro

Not alone… not completely

Even if it feels that way
