Lonely March

Watch him as he turns down the street,
Faithfully following his lonely march,
He’s got no friends,
Goes home straight after school,
Kisses his parents good night,
Pretends the scars don’t still bleed
Walks his lonely march,
Oblivious to my pity,
Just like everyone else

He’s the one who everyone shuns,
He’s the one who always loses out,
He’s the one we all laugh about
He’s the one I pity, the only one

I pretend I don’t really care,
And he never suspects,
But it hurts me inside,
Watching him on his lonely march

Sometimes I wish I could tell him the truth,
But then I would be like him, walking a lonely march,
And I wonder, would it really be that bad?
Walking with him, on his solitary march?

Watch him as he turns down the street,
Faithfully following his lonely march,
He’s got no friends,
Goes home straight after school,
Kisses his parents good night,
Pretends the scars don’t still bleed
Walks his lonely march,
Oblivious to my pity,
Just like everyone else

I saw the cuts on his wrists,
Open in his mind,
Saw that he was so alone,
And had to stop myself from crying

He walks alone, I walk surrounded,
He pretends he’s happy, I wish he were,
He looks with a hunger, seeing places far away,
I find it hard to see past him,

I wish I could stop him from being alone,
But I think he would laugh if he knew,
If he only knew, that I felt more than pity
And that I feel I can heal his scars,

He’s the lonely marcher, I’m Miss Perfection,
Someday I’ll tell him, someday he’ll see,
And we’ll walk his lonely march, together,
Someday we’ll fit each other’s curves

Watch him as he turns down the street,
Faithfully following his lonely march,
He’s got no friends,
Goes home straight after school,
Kisses his parents good night,
Pretends the scars don’t still bleed
Walks his lonely march,
Oblivious to my pity,
Just like everyone else

Someday, someday, he won’t be lonely,
And I hope that day is soon
Someday we’ll walk his lonely march, together,
And his curves will fit mine
