[Verse 1] Used to pray for a table full Too many chairs Now I sit in a room full of faces Nobody cares They laugh in a language I don’t speak Teeth of malice I’m the joke in the back of their throat Till the moment pass You say, “We’re your family, you’re safe here” Same script, same stage, same fake cheer Every hug got a hook in the seam Pull tight till I bleed in between [Chorus] I’m alone in a crowd, can you hear me? (hear me) Screaming in a house full of dead blue screens You hold my hand, but you’re not even near me Colder than the knives that you keep unseen I’d rather be alone than erased like this Rather feel the cut than your empty kiss You make me feel You make me feel Alone in a crowd like I don’t exist [Verse 2] You ask, “What’s wrong?” then you check your phone Eyes slide off me like oil on stone Every “love you” land cheap, half-price Gift-wrapped guilt in a word that bites I shrink just to fit your frame Swallow my name Smile like I’m fine while you twist that blame “Too much, too soft, too strange” Guess I’m the ghost that you built from your shame [Chorus] I’m alone in a crowd, can you hear me? (hear me) Screaming in a house full of dead blue screens You hold my hand, but you’re not even near me Colder than the knives that you keep unseen I’d rather be alone than erased like this Rather feel the cut than your empty kiss You make me feel You make me feel Alone in a crowd like I don’t exist [Bridge] I cut the cord, let my heart fall off (fall off) Rather face the dark than your double talk If this is love, I don’t want that drug Won’t drink you down just to die for a hug I choose silence over your loud neglect Choose my heart over your soft disrespect If I gotta walk this night by myself At least I’m not a stranger to myself [Chorus] I’m alone in the dark, do you fear me? (fear me) Stronger than the weight that you put on me You held my heart till you couldn’t just steer me Now I burn the bridge, let the bridge burn free I’d rather be alone than controlled like this Rather keep my soul than your poison bliss You made me feel You made me feel Alone in a crowd Now I don’t need it I’d rather be alone than to stay and quit
