I am alone
And no one ever comes into this room with me
I am alone
And I sit in the bed and stare at each blank wall
I am alone
And in my slumbers I weep as I dream of loneliness
I am alone
And I think of you every day I am alone
And I am alone
Every day
Every night
Every moment
Of this life
And not one person
Sees the tears
I’ve been crying for 1000 years
I want to talk to someone on the outside
But they’ve disconnected the landline
And every time I pick up the phone
I only hear an empty dial tone
Because I am alone
And no one ever comes into this room with me
