Did you ever feel lonely,
But were surrounded by friends?
You were lonely, but not too sad
For anyone to notice you needed a hand to lend
You need some help?
Maybe not much help, but enough
For you to get back up
Because you know when not to be tough.
It's hard to stay happy
When everyone is there
But it doesn't feel like it
Because no one seemed to care.
You suck in your gut
And dry the tears
And after awhile,
You look back at those years
And you think it wasn't so bad
Cuz you needed to see
How everyone really was
And how it was to be.
