  • 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 is your anthem
    There goes Hannah
    Showin' off her banner
    Rocking that crown
    Make them boys go bananas
    When you're insecure about yourself
    It's a fact
    You can point a finger
    But there's three pointing bac
    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 til 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?

    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 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 til 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 one's 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 your
    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 need your love to take me home
    No one said you should be all alone
    I'm right here
    Is anybody out there? Writer/s: DENARIUS MOTES, EDWIN SERRANO, HASHAM HUSSAIN, KEINAN WARSAME, MELANIE FIONA, NELLY FURTADO
