Analysis of Lonely in a crowded room
Sharlene Jnbaptiste 1984 (Canada)
Lonely in a crowded room
How can I be Lonely in a crowded room
Feeling empty like Im alone on the moon
A feeling of something sharp in my chest
Almost like I need a bullet proof vest
Lonely in a crowded room
If only I could fly away far from here
Would anyone even care
So much love around me
Nothings enough, I feel so empty
Lonely in a crowded room
Time goes by quickly and I can’t breathe
Feeling constricted so I rip off my sleeve
Lonely in a crowded room
Time and time I pray it would be better
But my moods are like the weather
I am numb to the hope of being happy
Oh loneliness please set me free
As I sit here oh so Lonely in a crowded room
