You Are Not Alone (Lyrics)

I went down the street In the center of somewhere I live And someone was standing there watching me Eyes averted so I couldn't see But I did - yes I did Why do people try to pretend to be so unimpressed? We see our faces twitch we recognize The empty space that fills our eyes Unless we ask for a match, fumble with phrases Ask for directions to obvious places Say you'd forgotten - 'So you live here too?' Prise out the answers Prise out the answers, swap queries and glances It starts off a friendship And even romances And if you get the words thrown back in your face Then you that that was not the time, not the place Not the person you might need to feel up that blank space But don't forget if you feel on your own That person right next to you could feel the same Unloved or unwanted, repressed or unknown Until they're discovered unknown they remain They could be belligerent, but then again They could be the person who needs you as a friend Needs you as a friends Sometimes you despise yourself - you are not alone Everyone needs someone else - you are not alone You are not alone, you are not alone! And someone out there is needing you Just to have somebody to talk to Just like you always want them to do You are not alone You are not alone You are not alone Sometimes you despise yourself - you are not alone Everyone needs someone else - you are not alone
