Verse 1

Scrolling through the messages, names across the screen

Everyone is calling out, asking where I've been

They see me in the crowded room, laughing at the joke

But beneath the surface tension, something quiet broke

I am surrounded by the noise, a dozen hands to hold

But the air inside my chest is growing bitter cold

Chorus

So many faces, so many names

We share the laughter, we play the games

But in the quiet when the music dies down

I'm still a stranger in my own hometown

Yeah, I have many friends, I'm never out of sight

But I am still so alone tonight

Verse 2

We raise a glass to memories we haven't even made

Just trying to outrun the way the colors start to fade

They know the version of my face that's painted for the stage
