Chorus 1:
Does anyone know my name? 
Is there anybody there? 
You’re as near me as you can ever be
Watching me
Watching me

Tag1:
Does anyone love me? 
Does anyone need me? 
Nobody knows my name
Takes my blame
Feels my pain

Chorus 2:
Does anyone care for me? 
I just need a life to share
All my life I’ve searched
For someone just like you
Is there anybody there? 
Is anyone there? 
Anyone there? 

Verse 1:
I don’t know why you make me wanna stay
’cos there’s no-one left to love
I’m losing my life for a reason
I’m losing my life ’cos of you

Tag 2:
Is anybody really there? 

Bridge:
No-one waits for no-one
No-one cares at all
Nowhere left to hang around
No-one left to call

Patience is my virtue
By virtue of my shame
Broken pieces everywhere
Everything’s a game

Where have all the people gone
That once were in my life
Why has everybody gone away? 

Chorus 3:
Does anyone know my name? 
Or does anybody care? 
There’s a reason
Why I know I have to stay
So is anybody there? 

I’m losing my life for a reason
I’m losing my life ’cos of you
I want to know you’re out there just for me

Chorus 4:
I’m tired of waiting here for you
Now I’ve made up my mind
You’re no good
I don’t need you
I don’t care anymore when you cry

I’m sending my love far away
With a piece of my heart
And a tear for each day
That I cried
So there must be a reason for living
There must be a reason for loving

It’s all right
It’s all right

Tag 4:
Will anyone really care
If I just walk away
With a tear in each eye
And a reason not to stay? 

Does anyone really know me? 
Does anyone really care? 
Is there anybody there?
