No matter how hard he tried His eyes just couldn't stay dry & when everyday he'd stare at the phone Hoping someone would call Because he was so all alone He laughs with others around But when he cries, no one's there & the burden grows too heavy to bear Like someone trying to hang on But no one throws down a rope to grip & everyday is just a lonely trip Where his face flashes a big grin A mask of happiness when he's really not Trying to smile but somehow forgot He pretends he has friends in his dreams at night & they love him, but only in his mind So that when he'd open his eyes, none of them could he find In all his attempts to escape from this He simply hid the clouds inside of him Trying to forget the rain But everyday in the midst of the pain He'd stumble & fall & no one was there Because everyone was happy & everyone was blind & everyone had someone to hold on to Except him
