These lyrics are about a girl who can never seem to live
up to her mothers expectations, who has no real friends,
and is just trying to find a place where she belongs in the world.
Ive cried so much
My tears are starting to ache
Mommy says Ive made so many mistakes
There arent any left to make
My "friends" call me a circus freak
Because of how I look and what I wear
While Im judged my the rest of the world
I feel inferior within their stares
*Is there no place I belong
No place to be accepted
Right now it seems everywhere I turn
Im being rejected
Cant stay at home
Because I dont know where it is
Cant depend on friends
Because I dont know what a friend is
I wander through the streets of life
Looking for a welcoming corner to hide in
I wish that I was something
Someone else could take pride in*
Look into my eyes
I am filled with pain
I can feel myself breaking
Theres that sound again
With every little comment
I fall further between the cracks
To you Im just the freak girl
Only known for what she lacks
*Is there no place I belong
No place to be accepted
Right now it seems everywhere I turn
Im being rejected
Cant stay at home
Because I dont know where it is
Cant depend on friends
Because I dont know what a friend is
I wander through the streets of life
Looking for a welcoming corner to hide in
I wish that I was something
Someone else could take pride in*
Mommy, why cant you love me
Friend, why cant you stay true
World, why do you poke fun
Try to see it from my point of view
*Is there no place I belong
No place to be accepted
Right now it seems everywhere I turn
Im being rejected
Cant stay at home
Because I dont know where it is
Cant depend on friends
Because I dont know what a friend is
I wander through the streets of life
Looking for a welcoming corner to hide in
I wish that I was something
Someone else could take pride in*
