Loner's Lament

[Verse] Lonely street nights dark and bleak Eyes cold no one dares to speak Innocent soul can't catch a break Drowning in pain drowning in ache [Verse] Silent crowd whisper and sneer Hands shake heart full of fear Shadow of a man lost in the gray Dreams crushed hopes fade away [Chorus] Why can't they see I'm just like you Heart beating pain burning through Deserves love deserves a chance Life's cruel unkind twisted dance [Verse] Empty room echoes of the past Memories haunted never last Isolation cold as ice Life's a game but never nice [Bridge] Eyes wide open but never awake Smile broken beneath the ache Invisible ghost in a crowded place Fading shadow erased from space [Chorus] Why can't they see I'm just like you Heart beating pain burning through Deserves love deserves a chance Life's cruel unkind twisted dance
