Why Do I Feel So Alone?

No one knows what I hide behind my smiling face.

I’m dying for some sympathy for a pain I just can’t place.

I don’t know why I feel so empty with friends at every turn.

But every night I lie awake filled with this hollow burn.



I know that you’d be there for me if I just asked you to.

But it’s 3 AM and I’m so lost, I don’t know what to do.

I cry myself to sleep at night, somebody tell me why.

I’ve got the world at my fingertips but all my dreams have gone so dry.



I hear you breathing next to me while I turn in bed.

You’re everything that I once loved, but the thought’s stuck in my head.

I don’t know if you’re right for me, or even who I am.

You don’t fill this hole inside of me. Maybe nothing can.



I find myself in the streets at night, wandering alone.

Wondering why I’m way out here with nowhere else to go.

No matter what I try to do I never feel fulfilled.

Not friends nor faith nor love have eased the pain I feel.



Why do I feel so miserable?

Why do I hurt this way?

What can fill my empty heart?

And keep loneliness at bay?
