Stranded Somewhere Inside

[Verse 1]
Every screen lights up when I come through,
Every laugh is aimed my way.
I can count the hands that reach for mine,
Still lose myself before they stay.

[Pre-Chorus]
They say, “You’re loved,” and I believe them—
That’s the part that cuts so deep.
All this kindness in the daylight,
And a private ache that doesn’t sleep.

[Chorus]
I’ve got love coming from every side,
Still I’m stranded somewhere inside.
All these voices calling me home,
Why do I feel so alone?
I’ve got love, I know it’s true—
So why can’t I feel it breaking through?

[Verse 2]
You send the joke, I send the right reply,
I wear the grin that fits the frame.
Then the whole bright crowd turns into static,
And I can’t remember my own name.

[Pre-Chorus]
No one failed me, no one left me,
No one did a thing unkind.
That’s the strange and stubborn problem:
I’m surrounded, still behind.

[Chorus]
I’ve got love coming from every side,
Still I’m stranded somewhere inside.
All these voices calling me home,
Why do I feel so alone?
I’ve got love, I know it’s true—
So why can’t I feel it breaking through?

[Breakdown]
Say it again.
I hear you.
I’m still here.

[Final Chorus]
I’ve got love coming from every side,
Still I’m stranded somewhere inside.
All these voices calling me home—
I’m not fixed, but I’m not alone.
I’ve got love, I know it’s true,
And tonight I’ll let one voice get through.
