Alone

(Verse 1)

You think you know me,

Think you understand somehow,

But you haven’t seen the scars

That I bury deep down.

Every single day I’m hiding,

A secret locked inside,

Every single night I’m crying,

With nowhere left to hide.

(Chorus)

But you just don’t, don’t understand me,

I’m standing all alone out here.

You don’t hear the words I’m saying,

Or the silent, falling tear.

Or the screams caught in my throat,

The pain I hold inside —

Just lying here, all broken,

With nothing left to hide.

(Verse 2)

You say you’re here for me,

Say, “Come on, let’s talk.”

But nothing ever changes,

Just the same unsteady walk.

Around the real truth,

You don’t have a clue,

Lost on where to start,

Or how to see me through.

(Chorus)

‘Cause you just don’t, don’t understand me,

I’m standing all alone out here.

You don’t hear the words I’m saying,

Or the silent, falling tear.

Or the screams caught in my throat,

The pain I hold inside —

Just lying here, all broken,

With nothing left to hide.

(Bridge)

It’s always been this way,

Just myself against the world,

No one seems to care enough,

To hear my silent swirl.

Maybe they’re pretending,

Trying hard to understand,

But loneliness keeps biting,

Underneath this empty land.

(Outro)

Broken into pieces,

Deep inside, I’m hurting.

You don’t hear my words,

You don’t hear my screams.

Don’t understand me,

No — you don’t understand...

Alone, just myself,

Always.
