Stuck on the Outside

I try to get in I try to push past the walls keeping me stuck in the supporting cast

I smile and nod I try to talk But I know I don't belong Eventually, away I'll walk

I want to try I want to fit in But what's natural to others only leaves me with questions

I'm stuck on the outside A stranger among friends I don't know when this feeling stops I don't know if it ever ends

So I'll keep walking and hum my own song dreaming of that place where I can belong
