Alone in the middle by Tonenico - Zona

Lyrics

Verse 1

I sit in rooms where the laughter’s loud

Smiling faces in a crowded house

Everybody talking, nobody hears

I nod my head, but I’m not really here

I’m standing still, but I fade somehow

Like a ghost in the background now

I say the right things, play my part

But nobody hears what’s breaking my heart

Pre-Chorus

I reach for hands, they slip right through

I’m inches close, but miles from you

I’m surrounded, still on my own

A full room, but it don’t feel like home

Chorus

I’m alone in the middle of everyone

So close, but I don’t belong

I’m screaming inside, but no one knows

This weight I carry everywhere I go

Yeah, I’m alone, even in the crowd

Lost in the noise, but I’m screaming loud

I’m right here, but I’m gone

God, I’ve never felt so alone

Verse 2

I hear my name, it don’t feel like mine

Like they’re calling someone else this time

Every laugh cuts a little deep

‘Cause I don’t feel what I’m supposed to feel

I watch people fall into place

While I’m stuck on the outside looking in

I’m waving through a wall of glass

Close enough to touch, but it never lasts

Pre-Chorus

I fade into the background sound

Just another face they pass around

I try to stay, I try to hold

But loneliness won’t let me go

Chorus

I’m alone in the middle of everyone

So close, but I don’t belong

I’m screaming inside, but no one knows

This weight I carry everywhere I go

Yeah, I’m alone, even in the crowd

Lost in the noise, but I’m screaming loud

I’m right here, but I’m gone

God, I’ve never felt so alone

[Bridge start low, build hard]

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m scared

Maybe I learned how to disappear

Built these walls way too high

Just to keep from hearing goodbye

If someone stayed and looked too close

Heard the fear I never show

Would they hold me when I break

Or turn around and walk away?

[Final Chorus / Outro (big - stripped]

I’m alone in the middle of everyone

Even with the lights turned on

I reach for love, but it slips right through

Like I was never meant to be held by you

Yeah, I’m alone, but I tried my best

To hide this ache inside my chest

I’m right here, but I’m gone

God, I’ve never felt so alone

[breaks down to piano]

So if you hear this song one day

And you feel the same damn way

You ain’t the only one holding on

Trying not to disappear alone

[soft breath, piano unresolved]
