I know that you're lonely
I can see it written in your eyes
Behind your crooked smile
Lives a fear you can no longer hide
You've built an ivory tower
Locked the doors and threw away the keys
Hiding in the shadows
Thinking that the world's your enemy
The world's an ugly place when you're alone
But you don't have to face it on your own
You don't have to hide
Locked away inside
You're not alone
You're not alone
You tried to live among them
Pretending you are just another sheep
But they treat you like an alien
Sensing that you're different underneath
So you made your life a fortress
Built a wall around your broken heart
But now the walls are crumbling
The isolation's tearing you apart
The world's an ugly place when you're alone
But you don't have to face it on your own
You don't have to hide
Locked away inside
You're not alone
You're not alone
Locked in solitary
Unaware you've always held the key
You designed this prison
And no one else can ever set you free
The world's an ugly place when you're alone
But you don't have to face it on your own
You don't have to hide
Locked away inside
You're not alone
The world's an ugly place when you're alone
But you don't have to face it on your own
You don't have to hide
Just let me inside
You're not alone
You're not alone
I can see it written in your eyes
Behind your crooked smile
Lives a fear you can no longer hide
You've built an ivory tower
Locked the doors and threw away the keys
Hiding in the shadows
Thinking that the world's your enemy
The world's an ugly place when you're alone
But you don't have to face it on your own
You don't have to hide
Locked away inside
You're not alone
You're not alone
You tried to live among them
Pretending you are just another sheep
But they treat you like an alien
Sensing that you're different underneath
So you made your life a fortress
Built a wall around your broken heart
But now the walls are crumbling
The isolation's tearing you apart
The world's an ugly place when you're alone
But you don't have to face it on your own
You don't have to hide
Locked away inside
You're not alone
You're not alone
Locked in solitary
Unaware you've always held the key
You designed this prison
And no one else can ever set you free
The world's an ugly place when you're alone
But you don't have to face it on your own
You don't have to hide
Locked away inside
You're not alone
The world's an ugly place when you're alone
But you don't have to face it on your own
You don't have to hide
Just let me inside
You're not alone
You're not alone

To me this song is a plea from someone to the person that they love to know that they shouldn't give up, that they are never alone. This person that they love is at a low point in there life and they are pleading with them to not lock themselves away, but to allow others in, especially someone who loves them as much as they do.
