Lonely Boy's Anthem

[Verse 1]
Hands in pockets head down low
No one calls no place to go
Shadows whisper but never stay
Every step just fades away
[Prechorus]
Silent halls echo my name
But they don't know me not the same
[Chorus]
I thought I found a friend
A hand to hold an ear to lend
But when I turned around again
I had no friends no friends at all
[Verse 2]
Park bench mornings gravel streets
Faces pass but never meet
Words I spoke fell through the air
Empty spaces no one there
[Prechorus]
Eyes would search but never find
A heart like mine lost in time
[Chorus]
I thought I found a friend
A hand to hold an ear to lend
But when I turned around again
I had no friends no friends at all
