Outsider

Whispering behind cupped hands

Turning your backs to me

Making me feel like I don't belong

Keeping me out of your world

Treating me like an Outsider.

You don't care that I feel so left out

You enjoy the power it gives you

You think I'm not one of you

Well maybe I don't want to be

Maybe I'm happy being an Outsider.

I act like I don't care

I fool myself into believing I'm alright

I pretend I don't need you

But I do need you, I really do

Even though I'm an Outsider.

Just because I'm quiet and shy

You think I have nothing to say

Just because I'm ugly on the outside

You think I'm ugly on the inside too

You make me an Outsider.

Does my misery make you happy?

Do my tears make you laugh?

Does my pain make you feel good?

Do my feelings mean nothing to you?

Just because I'm an Outsider.

One day soon your smiles will fade

One day soon you'll know

One day soon I'll come for you

And make you the Outsider

Then I won't be the Outsider anymore.
