Won't you tell me if I scream, will they bend down and listen to me?

Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky

You see I'm tired of feeling this pain; I'm tired of living my own little lie
        Bm7       A

I'm a stranger in my home

Tell me, are you feeling alone?

Someone tell me what to do 'cause I'm feeling strong

And I wonder how you feel

Do you realize my pain is for real?

 I see you in my dreams
   A                           Bm7
And I wonder if you're looking down at me and smiling right now
 G
I wanna know if it's true
       Bm7
When he looks at me, won't you tell me

Does he realize he came down here and he took you too soon?

And now my days are short and my nights are long

I lay down with memories of you that keep me going on, going on

Will I see your face again?

Tell me, do you care?

I'm a stranger in my home

Living life on my own
G                   Bm7
Right now I just can't see 'cause I'm feeling weak
      A       F#m
And my soul begins to bleed

And no one's listening to me, not even the trees
