Right here but gone by Tonenico - Zona

Right here but gone by Tonenico - Zona

Lyrics

Verse 1

I sit in rooms full of voices loud

Smiling faces, a gathered crowd

Every word just passes by

Like I’m watching life through someone else’s eyes

I’m standing here but I’m not seen

Like a crack in between the scenes

I say the right things, play my role

But nobody hears the quiet in my soul

Pre-Chorus

I reach for hands that slip away

I’m close, but always far away

Surrounded, yet I’m still alone

A crowded room, a silent home

Chorus

I’m alone in the middle of everyone

So close, but I don’t belong

I scream inside, but no one knows

This ache that follows me wherever I go

Yeah I’m alone, though I’m never by myself

Lost in a world full of someone else

I’m right here, but I’m gone

I’ve never felt so alone

Verse 2

I hear my name, but it feels untrue

Like it’s meant for someone new

Every laugh just cuts me deep

‘Cause I don’t feel a thing I’m supposed to feel

I watch connections intertwine

While I’m stuck on the outside

I’m waving through a sheet of glass

Close enough to touch, but never to last

Pre-Chorus

I blend into the background noise

A broken note without a voice

I try to stay, I try to hold

But loneliness never lets me go

Chorus

I’m alone in the middle of everyone

So close, but I don’t belong

I scream inside, but no one knows

This ache that follows me wherever I go

Yeah I’m alone, though I’m never by myself

Lost in a world full of someone else

I’m right here, but I’m gone

I’ve never felt so alone

[Bridge (soft, then rising]

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m flawed

Maybe I built these walls too tall

I don’t know how to let them fall

When I don’t feel worthy at all

What if someone stayed too long

Heard the fear behind my calm

Would they see the truth in me

Or walk away silently?

[Final Chorus / Outro (bigger, then stripped back]

I’m alone in the middle of everyone

Even when the lights are on

I reach for love, but it slips through

Like I was never meant to be held by you

Yeah I’m alone, and I’ve tried my best

To hide this weight inside my chest

I’m right here, but I’m gone

I’ve never felt so alone

[Break down to piano]

So if you hear this song someday

And you feel the same way

You’re not the only one holding on

Trying not to disappear alone

[Fade out on fragile piano, unresolved chord, breath between notes]
