I've tried my damnedest to get near you My ears are bleeding trying to hear you I'm lost in the middle of a cold rain And you're forests away Every state I've ever been Has greeted me with a bad beginning I stand in the pathway of a fast train To swing you my way I look around and nobody's there I look around and nobody cares I look around and nobody's there I try to keep myself contained I watch TV ignore the pain But every night like an army on a foray My thoughts do invade I look around and nobody's there I look around and nobody cares I look around and nobody's there You don't believe that I've been through hell Cause I'm pretty together and doing well You don't believe that I feel alone Cause the people that pass me say hello I look around and nobody's there I look around and nobody cares I look around and nobody's there
