Lyrics

I don't wanna be left
In this war tonight
Am I alone in this fight?
Is anybody out there?
Don't wanna be left
Left in this world behind
Say you'll run to my side
Something 'bout Mary
Never won a pageant
Never felt pretty
Never looked like Cameron
Diaz was her last name
Always been abandoned
Keep your head up
Baby girl this your anthem
There goes Hannah
Showin' off her banner
Rocking that crown
Make the boys go bananas
When you're insecure about yourself
It's a fact
You can point a finger
But there's three pointing back
I can see her crying out, yeah
Is there anybody out there?
She's really counting on your love
Still struggling uphill
But you act like you don't care
Right now she could really use a shoulder
Hanging onto the edge till it's over
She's crying for your love tonight
Loneliest heart to survive, she said
I don't wanna be left
In this war tonight
Am I alone in this fight?
Is anybody out there? Yeah
Don't wanna be left
Left in this world behind
Say you'll run to my side
Is anybody out there?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Is anybody out there?
Somebody, anybody
His name was Adam
When his mom had him
Dad was a phantom never took a look at him
Grew up mad and antisocial
Hated outdoors, always in playing Madden
Adam was lonely
Drugs were the only
Way out of his own life
Now he's slowly losing his fire
Close to retire
With one last hope he puts his arms up higher
I can see him crying out, yeah
Is there anybody out there?
He's really counting on your love
Still struggling uphill
But you act like you don't care
Right now he could really use a shoulder
Hanging onto the edge till it's over
He's crying for your love tonight
Loneliest heart to survive, he said
I don't wanna be left
In this war tonight
Am I alone in this fight?
Is anybody out there?
Don't wanna be left
Left in this world behind
Say you'll run to my side
Is anybody out there?
If you feel the way I feel
Like you've been talking to yourself
Well this is for everyone who's felt invisible
Lonely in a crowded room
Searching for someone like you
Can't do it all alone
No one can baby
Can't do it all alone
No one should baby
Is anybody out there?
Somebody, anybody
Is anybody out there?
I'm right here for you
Is anybody out there?
I don't wanna be left
In this war tonight
Am I alone in this fight?
Is anybody out there?
Don't wanna be left
Left in this world behind
Say you'll run to my side
Is anybody out there?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't wanna do it all alone
I don't wanna do it all alone
I need your love to take me home
I need your love to take me home
No one said you should be all alone
No one said you should be all alone
I'm right here, right here
Is anybody out there?
