Hello, is anybody there?

Hello, is anybody there?
Will anybody speak to me?
I guess nobody cares.

I see you all just standing there,
I'm right here too, does anybody see?
Hello, is anybody there?

I smile, I'm friendly, hugs I love to share,
yet no one takes, their eyes are not on me.
I guess nobody cares.

I sing your praises, faces fine and fair,
yet silence, my own echoes answer me.
Hello, is anybody there?

If I now rip my hair, my clothes do tear,
will anybody even notice me?
Hello, is anybody there?
I guess nobody cares.
