Verse 1:
I laughed alone, in the silent night,
The darkness enveloping me, hiding my plight.
But my laughter was hollow, a facade I wear,
To hide the pain inside, the burden I bear.

Chorus:
I laughed alone, but inside I cry,
The tears keep falling from my weary eyes.
I put on a smile, to fool the world,
But deep down inside, my spirit is unfurled.

Verse 2:
I laughed alone, as the world passed by,
People bustling around, never asking why.
I hide my true self, behind a mask,
Afraid to show weakness, afraid they'll ask.

Chorus:
I laughed alone, but inside I scream,
The agony of loneliness, like a haunting dream.
I long for someone to see through my guise,
To hold me close, to dry my eyes.

Bridge:
But maybe one day, I'll find the strength,
To tear down the walls, to go to any length.
To let someone in, to share my pain,
And finally break free from this lonely chain.

Verse 3:
I laughed alone, in crowded places,
Surrounded by smiles, yet feeling the spaces.
My heart yearns for connection, a touch so pure,
A bond that’s unspoken, a love to endure.

Chorus:
I laughed alone, but now I reach out,
I'll no longer hide, I'll no longer doubt.
For love and connection, are what we all need,
To heal the wounds, to plant the seed.

Verse 4:
I laughed alone, but hope starts to grow,
In the warmth of compassion, the kindness they show.
No more pretense, no more disguise,
A light in the darkness, a friend in my eyes.

Chorus:
I laughed alone, but now I find,
The courage to open, to leave pain behind.
Together we stand, our hearts intertwined,
In the embrace of love, true peace of mind.

Extended Bridge:
In moments of truth, we bare our souls,
Sharing the weight, making each other whole.
With each step forward, our spirits rise,
A chorus of laughter that reaches the skies.

Verse 5:
I laughed alone, but not anymore,
With friends by my side, I feel the rapport.
We share our stories, our dreams, our fears,
Transforming sorrow into joyous tears.

Chorus:
I laughed alone, but now I'm free,
In the arms of others, I find the key.
To a life of meaning, where love prevails,
Together we conquer, together we sail.

Outro:
So don't be afraid to show your true face,
To let others in, to find your place.
For in vulnerability, we find our strength,
And together we'll laugh, no longer alone at length.
