[Verse 1]
She walks in smiling
Like she’s made of stone
Every face around her
Still leaves her all alone
A paper bag of groceries
A key that won’t unlock
A name she won’t say out loud
A clock she never stops
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a weight in her chest
That never says enough
She keeps it all inside
Because the world is rough
And every room is full
But nobody hears
The silent kind of screaming
She’s been holding years
[Chorus]
So alone in a crowded room
So alone in a crowded room
She’s breaking, but she folds it in
So alone in a crowded room
No one knows her hurt
No one sees her fall
She lost her boy too soon
And they don’t know at all
[Verse 2]
She folds the laundry slow
Beside the empty chair
Sets one plate for two sometimes
Then catches herself there
Bills on the counter
Sleep she cannot keep
Morning comes and asks her
To be strong, to eat, to speak
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a weight in her chest
That never says enough
She keeps it all inside
Because the world is rough
And every room is full
But nobody hears
The silent kind of screaming
She’s been holding years
[Chorus]
So alone in a crowded room
So alone in a crowded room
She’s breaking, but she folds it in
So alone in a crowded room
No one knows her hurt
No one sees her fall
She lost her boy too soon
And they don’t know at all
[Bridge]
If you saw her hands
You’d know what they carried
If you heard her prayers
You’d know what she buried
One more day, one more step
Through the noise, through the dust
She don’t need a perfect answer
Just someone staying close
[Final Chorus]
So alone in a crowded room
So alone in a crowded room
She’s breaking, but she folds it in
So alone in a crowded room
No one knows her hurt
No one sees her fall
She lost her boy too soon
And they don’t know at all
So alone in a crowded room
(So alone in a crowded room)
So alone in a crowded room
(So alone in a crowded room)
