She was seventeen, she was a beauty queen
But everything she had would never make up for her loneliness
But you'd never guess
She cried herself to sleep, there was no one to see
And she believed that nobody noticed that she felt like this

Lying in her bed, she did her best to chase the emptiness away
Somehow, she'd always find the strength to face another day

She's so lonely
No one noticed
She was the girl who had it all
But she had nothing else
She felt so alone
Even in a crowd

She wore the latest style, had the biggest smile
When she made the grade, she would give a high five
To her favourite guys
And she pursued her dreams, made the all-star team
Then she joined a band 'cause she could play piano
Oh, but don't you know

In the quiet of her room, when she was all by herself
What started as a whispered prayer became a desperate cry for help

She's so lonely
No one noticed
She was the girl who had it all
But what did it mean?
She felt so alone
In a crowded room

As she drifted off to sleep and as a tear escaped her eye
An answer to her prayer came
"I am always by your side"

She's so lonely
She can always
Every minute, every hour of every day
Asleep or awake
He's a prayer away

She's so lonely
She can always
Every minute, every hour of every day
Asleep or awake
He's a prayer away
That every minute, every hour of every day
Asleep or awake
He's a prayer away
