Lonely in the crowd - KMurdock Music Group
Bass is shaking through my shoes but I can't feel my feet
Standing in the corner with a drink I'm not gonna drink
Everybody's laughing at a joke I didn't catch
Scrolling through my phone just to look like I'm attached
To something, someone, anywhere but this room
You'd think a hundred bodies would fill up the gloom
But I'm counting ceiling tiles tracing cracks along the wall
Perfume and cologne mixed with nothing much at all
I came here just a thought I'd finally breakthrough
Now I'm wondering why I even wore these brand new shoes
They're dancing close, I'm standing still, the music's loud but the effort's chill
I'm right here but I'm nowhere at all
It's the loneliness that finds you when you're not alone
Crowded room full of strangers still I'm on my own
Smiling faces passing by, not a single one stays long
How can I feel so invisible when the party's going strong
It's the loneliness, the loneliness
In a room that's packed I'm feeling it
Someone brushes past me doesn't say excuse me, nothing
Just another shoulder in the current pushing, rushing
Toward the center, toward the heat where everybody glows
And I'm pressed against the doorway wondering if I should go
My best friend's got her arm around some guy she just met
I'm happy for her really but I'm trying to forget
That I showed up hoping something different might occur
Now I'm the extra in a scene that's all a blur
Small talk dies before it starts, I'm surrounded still apart
Right here but I'm nowhere at all
It's the loneliness that finds you when you're not alone
Crowded room full of strangers still I'm on my own
Smiling faces passing by, not a single one stays long
How can I feel so invisible when the party's going strong
It's the loneliness, the loneliness
In a room that's packed I'm feeling it
Maybe I forgot how to let somebody in
Or maybe all these people just don't need what I bring
Either way I'm learning that a crowd can't heal
Can't heal a thing, can't heal a thing
It's the loneliness that finds you when you're not alone
Crowded room full of strangers still I'm on my own
Smiling faces passing by, not a single one stays long
How can I feel so invisible when the party's going strong
It's the loneliness, the loneliness
In a room that's packed now I'm still feeling this
I'll slip out early, no one's gonna notice anyway
Another crowded party
Another empty day
