Chorus ~~

It’s strange

How silence can echo even when the house is full.

Laughter in the next room,

but your heart’s not invited.

You smile for the pictures,

but your eyes don’t make it.

Verse ~~

They say loneliness is sleeping in an empty bed,

but mine’s warm still feels cold instead.

Dinner table’s full, voices all around,

yet I’m drifting off in thoughts that drown.

I talk, but no one really hears,

they see the face, not the silent tears.

I play the role, the one who’s “strong,”

but even strength can’t stay for long.

Verse ~~

People think being loved means being known,

but I’ve learned love can still feel like stone.

They see the version they understand,

not the ghost I hide beneath my hands.

You start to fade where no one looks,

living chapters that don’t make the books.

And it eats at you slow, unseen,

until numb becomes routine.

Hook ~~

Yeah, I’m surrounded, but I’m stranded inside,

Got family and friends, still my soul can’t confide.

They see the smile, but not the static I fight,

every “I’m fine” just buys me the night.

This is what happens when your spirit’s confined,

when connection’s there but it’s all misaligned.

You scream in colors they can’t perceive,

and start believing you’re meant to grieve.

The worst kind of lonely ain’t solitude

it’s being unseen in a crowded room.

So you retreat inside where no one can reach,

building walls from words you can’t speak.

Bridge ~~

And one day you stop explaining the ache,

because no one listens past what they can take.

You start to shrink behind your smile,

say “I’m okay” and fake it in style.

They think you’re distant, but you’re just tired,

burnt out from trying to stay inspired.

You love them you do

but the emptiness, it’s loyal too.

Chorus ~~

Loneliness isn’t a place

It’s a feeling that lives in the spaces between hearts.

Even when you’re held

you can still disappear inside yourself.

And sometimes, that’s the hardest kind of alone.
