The Lonely

For when you feel invisible.

The Lyrics

The house is quiet, the phone won't ring
I scroll past faces that don't really know me
I can be in a crowd and still feel alone
Like no one would notice if I went home

But soft as a whisper, I hear You say "You're not as alone as you feel today"

You're the friend who never leaves the room
The One who stays when everybody moves
When no one sees me, You still do
The closest to the lonely is You
So I'm not invisible, I'm not on my own
You've been here all along, I'm never alone

I'm always the one who shows up for the rest
But who shows up for me when I'm in need?
And right in the middle of that aching thought
I felt You come and sit with me

You put the lonely ones in families
You sit with the ones the world walks by

You're the friend who never leaves the room
The One who stays when everybody moves
When no one sees me, You still do
The closest to the lonely is You
So I'm not invisible, I'm not on my own
You've been here all along, I'm never alone

You were there in the empty rooms
There in the nights I cried alone
Every moment I felt forgotten
You were closer than I'd ever known

So even in the quiet
Even when it's just me
I'm never really alone
You're here with me.
