The unavoidable battle of feeling on the outside

It's hard to fit in
When you're on the outside
Feels like someone's getting to my head
Was it somethin' I did, or just somethin' I said?
I'm not an idiot, but I feel like one a lot
'Cause every time I try I end up here
Right where I started, just feelin' unguarded

I don't care if it comes out perfect
As long as I can spit it out

Then he said
Take your time, take what you need to
Peace of mind, should never leave you
You'll be fine, just let them see you
On the inside
Hurt takes time, don't be afraid of
What you got, show them what ya made of
You will find, it's gonna be alright
So let's go!

It's hard to get up
When you don't feel like movin'
It's hard to lift your head up
Sometimes, 'cause it feels like it's lastin'
But it's gonna pass
I'm not an alien
But I feel like one a lot
'Cause every time I try, I end up here
Just floatin' in space
With that look on my face

I don't care if it comes out perfect
As long as I can spit it out

Then he said
Take your time, take what you need to
Peace of mind, should never leave you
You'll be fine, just let them see you
On the inside
Hurt takes time, don't be afraid of
What you got, show them what ya made of
You will find, it's gonna be alright
So let's go!
