On My Own
At this party of false hopes and dreams,
Where no one is as he seems,
In a crowded room, I stand…
Alone.
Here problems and sorrows are forbidden
Behind a smile they're secretly hidden
In a crowded room, I stand…
Alone.
The music's flowing, clear and bright
Couples are dancing throughout the night
In a crowded room, I stand…
Alone.
The laughter and screams escalate
I turn to doors that give no escape
In a crowded room, I stand…
Alone.
Whispers of secrets pass through lovers' ears
Words are spoken, promises to last for years
In a room of love, I stand…
Alone.
I see the clock's hand begin to wind
Suddenly I'm skipped forward through time
In a shattered room, I stand…
Alone.
Gentlemen weeping in their hands
And women unable to understand
In a shattered room, all's…
Alone.
Promises whispered long before
Become lost in this bitter war
In a shattered room, hearts are…
Alone.
The damaging lies are now complete
People are left crying, unable to speak
In a shattered room, the world's…
Alone.
The clock turns back to present time
I'm jerked to reality by its hollow chime
In a crowded room, I stand…
Alone.
Someone approaches- look in his eyes
They are filled with both his heartache and lies
In a crowded room, I stand…
Alone.
I realize now what it is I see
I know this false world is not for me
In a crowded room, I leave them…
Alone.
I slip back, away from them all
Making my escape down an empty hall
In this crowded room, I walk...
Alone.
