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 pa** 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
