Verse 1 I sit in rooms full of voices loud Smiling faces, a gathered crowd Every word just passes by Like I’m watching life through someone else’s eyes I’m standing here but I’m not seen Like a crack in between the scenes I say the right things, play my role But nobody hears the quiet in my soul Pre-Chorus I reach for hands that slip away I’m close, but always far away Surrounded, yet I’m still alone A crowded room, a silent home Chorus I’m alone in the middle of everyone So close, but I don’t belong I scream inside, but no one knows This ache that follows me wherever I go Yeah I’m alone, though I’m never by myself Lost in a world full of someone else I’m right here, but I’m gone I’ve never felt so alone Verse 2 I hear my name, but it feels untrue Like it’s meant for someone new Every laugh just cuts me deep ‘Cause I don’t feel a thing I’m supposed to feel I watch connections intertwine While I’m stuck on the outside I’m waving through a sheet of glass Close enough to touch, but never to last Pre-Chorus I blend into the background noise A broken note without a voice I try to stay, I try to hold But loneliness never lets me go Chorus I’m alone in the middle of everyone So close, but I don’t belong I scream inside, but no one knows This ache that follows me wherever I go Yeah I’m alone, though I’m never by myself Lost in a world full of someone else I’m right here, but I’m gone I’ve never felt so alone [Bridge (soft, then rising] Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m flawed Maybe I built these walls too tall I don’t know how to let them fall When I don’t feel worthy at all What if someone stayed too long Heard the fear behind my calm Would they see the truth in me Or walk away silently? [Final Chorus / Outro (bigger, then stripped back] I’m alone in the middle of everyone Even when the lights are on I reach for love, but it slips through Like I was never meant to be held by you Yeah I’m alone, and I’ve tried my best To hide this weight inside my chest I’m right here, but I’m gone I’ve never felt so alone [Break down to piano] So if you hear this song someday And you feel the same way You’re not the only one holding on Trying not to disappear alone [Fade out on fragile piano, unresolved chord, breath between notes]

Right here but gone
