As funny as it may seem
It's no laughing matter though they point at him
The punchline went all wrong this time
Someone see if he's all right

Days pass and life goes on
The jokes bounce off as he hums his favorite song
Self esteem's losing the fight
Someone see if he's all right

Can't I care just once
To take a stand
To take a side?
Through the crowd we stare
We cowards here
We cowards there

Alone is his best friend
What we don't know is that he's at his last end
Maybe I should talk to him?
I'm sure that they'll talk to him

Where can he find his comfort?
We're all enclosed in our tight circle of friends
A circle has no open sides
Someone see if he's all right

Can't I care just once
To take a stand
To take a side?
Through the crowd we stare
We cowards here
We cowards there

{Cowards}

Can't I care just once
To take a stand
To take a side?
Through the crowd we stare
I coward here
I coward there

He laughed out loud alone
He spoke alone
Lived life alone
He wouldn't be alone
If on my own
I'd stand alone
