Outside the Crowd

Verse 1
The city hums like a restless machine
Everyone chasing some half-hidden dream
Voices and laughter drift through the night
But none of them ever quite feel like mine
I walk through the noise like a ghost in the rain
Familiar faces but nothing’s the same
The circles grow tighter, the distance grows wide
And somehow I’m always just stood outside
Pre-Chorus
They’re building their worlds while I’m standing still
Watching the years roll over the hill
Chorus
So I stand strong, though I’m standing alone
In a world that keeps moving, a place never home
While friendships and family drift with the tide
I’m the quiet shadow just watching life pass by
But the silence has taught me who I can be
A heart that survives its own company
If I’m meant to walk where the lonely winds roam
Then I’ll stand strong… even on my own
Verse 2
Birthdays and weddings, the photos they share
Smiles in the moments I’m never quite there
Stories unfolding I barely can trace
Like watching the world through a sheet of glass pane
The roads that we walked slowly split into two
They found their direction, I wandered through
No blame in their leaving, no anger to hold
Just the quiet truth of a life growing cold
Pre-Chorus
They’re writing their chapters I can’t step within
Just turning the pages and watching them spin
Chorus
So I stand strong, though I’m standing alone
In a world that keeps moving, a place never home
While friendships and family drift with the tide
I’m the quiet shadow just watching life pass by
But the silence has taught me who I can be
A heart that survives its own company
If I’m meant to walk where the lonely winds roam
Then I’ll stand strong… even on my own
Bridge
Maybe the stars only shine this way
For souls that learned how to walk through grey
Maybe the strength that nobody sees
Is forged in the space between memories
And maybe one day through the endless night
Someone will notice this distant light
Final Chorus
Till then I stand strong though I’m standing alone
In an ever-busy world that keeps moving on
Where friendships and family fade into time
And I’m just the watcher outside the lines
But the fire inside me still quietly glows
A strength only solitude truly knows
So if this road was the one I was shown
I’ll stand strong…
