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
