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 pass 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
