The Lonely Crowd

where are you when I cry at night
why can't you see my pain
I know I hide it but I didn't know I did so well
I thought the cuts were enough
to tell you that I needed you
nothing's ever enough
I'm alone again tonight
just like every other night before
doesn't matter who's around
I'm still alone
this crowded room is empty
all of those eyes look right through me
I want to scream
see if they can hear me
