Lyric

Every time the automatic doors opened

Only warmth seemed to drift inside

Laughter and the sound of children crying

Blended together somewhere near the ceiling

Avoiding sleeves and passing shoulders

Of people pushing shopping carts

With no one to talk to, I wandered alone

Feeling like I didn't quite belong anywhere

I told myself

It had nothing to do with me

Maybe I had to believe that

Just to keep standing there

**On a Sunday evening at the mall, **

Being alone cut deeper than usual

People walking hand in hand, smiling

Looked like a future I could never reach

I couldn't admit I was jealous

I couldn't admit I was lonely

Maybe what I wanted to go back to

Was the person I used to be

In a corner of the food court

Someone sat alone, sipping soup

Someone else, still in their work uniform

Quietly paused to catch their breath

Everyone carried their own day

And kept walking without a word

It felt like I was the only one

Wearing a face full of resentment

I've grown used

To comparing myself to others

But my heart still wasn't ready

To be left behind

**On a Sunday evening at the mall, **

Being alone cut deeper than usual

I wondered if the people laughing as they passed by

Had unseen nights of their own

I couldn't admit I was jealous

I couldn't admit I was lonely

Still, I wanted to spend a moment

Looking honestly at myself

**On a Sunday evening at the mall, **

The automatic doors closed once again

I didn't know what tomorrow would bring

And today I was nobody special

People walking hand in hand, smiling

Looked like a future I could never reach

I couldn't admit I was jealous

I couldn't admit I was lonely

Maybe what I wanted to go back to

Was the person I used to be

But the face reflected in the glass

Was unmistakably the person I am now

So, I'll keep walking forward

On my own two feet
