Nobody Not Really
Alicia Keys · The Diary Of Alicia Keys [2003]
Who really cares
When I talk
What I feel
What I say
nobody not really
Who wants to take
time to understand
I would like someone to heal me
with some empathy
I can't find
Nobody not really
maybe I'm invisible to the world
Does anyone in the world even think of me
As more than just a hopeless cause
Maybe the world is not my block, my stoop, my life, my dreams, my anything
Anything
Who wants to help
Mama, but she's so tired
Papa, but you're not here
I'm alone in a big empty space
With
Nobody not really
Nobody Not Really
