Alone (Song)
Alone in a crowd
All heads bowed to pray
I said all the words
the preacher said to say
I followed the rules
Tried to stay in the lines
that were drawn for me
I couldn’t question why
but I’m all out of faith
don’t think I can stay here with you
don’t where to go
don’t think I can know what’s really true
Alone in a crowd
among a thousand faces
all wearing a mask
tryin’ their best to fake it
Just follow the rules
and stay in the lines
don’t let ‘em see you breaking
and don’t you dare cry
but I’m all out faith
don’t think I can play at this no more
don’t know what to do
don’t know what I’m even praying for
I want to know your hear me
I’m so ******* scared
that all that I’ve believed in
was never really there
Did I really know you loved me
was I just puttin’ on airs
oh please just ******* say something, God
I want to believe you’re there
Alone in my room
left with my tears
I read that you catch them
and treasure them dear
Do my cries matter to you
these words that I pray
I’ve got nothing left, Jesus
Please don’t go away
(Language warning) this is to all the kids who grew up in a church that they came to feel as though they no longer belonged in.
