Lyrics:

                                                  
V1

As a small child, I knew I was alone

My family couldn't see a different way

There was too much chaos in my home

Every day, I wanted to get away



V2

I left home when I was very young

Searching for a way to survive

I felt tossed aside and lost among

Lonely child, more dead than alive



Chorus

In a crowd of blank faces

I could easily disappear

No one misses a lonely child

Or a child starved for love

Life is filled with empty spaces

For a child who wonders why they're here

Were they destined to feel exiled

And left alone and always in search of

Someone to love this lonely child



V3

Teardrops fall, but no one seems to care

So I wipe my tears and carry on alone

I understand that life isn't fair

My destiny continues to be unknown



Chorus

In a crowd of blank faces

I could easily disappear

No one misses a lonely child

Or a child starved for love

Life is filled with empty spaces

For a child who wonders why they're here

Were they destined to feel exiled

And left alone and always in search of

Someone to love this lonely child



Outro

I am a lonely child

Who loves a lonely child

Lonely child, lonely child
