Lonely Girl

There she sits alone again
Crying in her bedroom
And no one even knows at all

The days when she comes to school
So sad and depressed,
Everyone wonders why

No one really knows the scared her,
The real her

They think she’s happy,
They think she’s got it all,

But really she’s so scared and alone
And no one even knows
She just wants to cry out

She’s screaming at the top of her      lungs
Hoping someone reaches out
But no one even hears her

All she wants is someone to care,
Someone to love her

Some days she feels like
She just wants to give up,
Like there’s no sense of moving on

But then she thinks of her future
And the people that she loves
And she just keeps pushing on

Even though it feels like it’s not right
All the fights,
About everything…
That went wrong in her life

Really she’s so scared and alone
And no one even knows
She just wants to cry out

She’s screaming at the top of her lungs
Hoping someone reaches out
But no one even hears her

All she wants is someone to care,
Someone to love her

Really she’s so scared and alone
And no one even knows
She just wants to cry out

She’s screaming at the top of her lungs
Hoping someone reaches out
But no one even hears her

All she wants is someone to care,
All she wants is someone to care,
All she wants is someone to care,
Someone to love her.
