Outside lyrics

It's hard to explain

Inherently it's just always been strange

Neither here nor there

Always somewhat out of place everywhere

Ambiguous

Without a sense of belonging to touch

Somewhere halfway

Feeling there's no one completely the same

Standing alone

Eager to just

Believe it's good enough to be what

You really are

But in your heart

Uncertainty forever lies

And you'll always be

Somewhere on the

Outside

Early on, you face

The realization you don't have a space

Where you fit in

And recognize you were born to exist

Standing alone

Eager to just

Believe it's good enough to be what

You really are

But in your heart

Uncertainty forever lies

And you'll always be

Somewhere on the

Outside

And it's hard

And it's hard

And it's hard

Irreversibly

Falling in between

And it's hard

And it's hard

To be understood

As you are

As you are

Oh, and God knows

That you're standing on your own

Blind and unguided

Into a world divided

You're thrown

Where you're never quite the same

Although you try, try and try

To tell yourself

You really are

But in your heart

Uncertainty forever lies

And you'll always be

Somewhere on the

Outside

You'll always be

Somewhere on the

Outside
