I Keep The Lights Off

I've been talking to the walls again
Hoping someone might let me in
Every smile feels a million miles away
Like a memory fading with the day
I try to laugh, I try to care
But it feels like I'm not really there

It's a lonely, lonely world
Spinning fast while I stand still
I'm just a boy lost in the crowd
Screaming out, but it's not loud
In this lonely, lonely world
Searching for a place to be
But no one's ever looking back at me
Just a shadow they don't see
I'm so lonely, lonely

I've been running through the city lights
Chasing something that feels right
But every turn leads me astray
Like the night keeps stealing the day
I wear a mask, I play the part
But it's never enough to fix my heart

It's a lonely, lonely world
Spinning fast while I stand still
I'm just a boy lost in the crowd
Screaming out, but it's not loud
In this lonely, lonely world
Searching for a place to be
But no one's ever looking back at me
Just a shadow they don't see
I'm so lonely, lonely

Maybe it's me who's been holding back
Scared to fall, scared of the cracks
But if I could find just one open door
Would I still feel this way anymore?

It's a lonely, lonely world
Spinning fast while I stand still
I'm just a boy lost in the crowd
Screaming out, but it's not loud
In this lonely, lonely world
Searching for a place to be
But no one's ever looking back at me
Just a shadow they don't see

I keep walking, but I'm still alone
Surrounded by faces, yet I'm unknown
I am lonely, lonely, can't break free
Trapped in the silence swallowing me
I'm so lonely
