Maybe no one told you there is strength in your tears
And so you fight to keep from pouring out
But what if you unlock the gate that keeps your secret soul?
Do you think there’s enough that you might drown?

If no one will listen
If you decide to speak
If no one is left
Standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you
For what you really are
I will be here still

No one can tell you where you alone must go
There’s no telling what you will find there
And god I know the fear that eats away at your bones
Screaming every step, “Just stay here”

If no one will listen
If you decide to speak
If no one is left
Standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you
For what you really are
I will be here still

If you find your fists are raw and red from beating yourself down
If your legs have given out under the weight
If you find that you’ve been settling for a world of gray
So you wouldn’t have to face down your own hate

If no one will listen
If you decide to speak
If no one is left
Standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you
For what you really are
I will be here still

If no one will listen
If you decide to speak
If no one is left
Standing after the bombs explode
If no one wants to look at you
For what you really are
I will be here still
I will be here still

I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did, you fell so hard
I’ve learned the hard way, to never let it get that far

Because of you,
I’ll never stray too far from the sidewalk.
Because of you,
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt.
Because of you,
I find it hard to trust,
Not only me, but everyone around me.
Because of you,
I am afraid

I lose my way and it’s not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry, because I know that’s weakness in your eyes
I’m forced to fake, a smile, a laugh every day of my life
My heart can’t possibly break when it wasn’t even whole to start with

Because of you,
I’ll never stray too far from the sidewalk.
Because of you,
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt.
Because of you,
I find it hard to trust,
Not only me, but everyone around me.
Because of you,
I am afraid.

I watched you die
I heard you cry
Every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known
Better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry
In the middle of the night
For the same damn thing

Because of you,
I’ll never stray too far from the sidewalk.
Because of you,
I learned to play on the safe side
So I don’t get hurt.
Because of you,
I tried my hardest just to forget everything.
Because of you,
I don’t know how to let anyone else in.
Because of you,
I’m ashamed of my life because it’s empty.
Because of you,
I am afraid.

Because of you
Because of you

If you go, they’ll say you’re following
If you don’t, then you’re too good for them
If you smile, you must be ignorant
If you don’t, what’s your problem?

If you’re down, so ungrateful
And if you’re happy, why so selfish?
And, you can’t win
No, you can’t win, no

The one who doesn’t quite fit in
Underdressed under your skin
Oh, a walking disaster
Every time you try to fly
You end up falling out of line,
Oh, you can’t, you can’t win, no

If you’re thin, poor little walking disease
If you’re not, they’re all screaming obese
If you’re straight, why aren’t you married yet?
If you’re gay, why aren’t you waving a flag?
If it’s wrong, you’re knowing it
If it’s right, you’ll always miss
You can’t win, no
You can’t win, no

The one who doesn’t quite fit in
Underdressed under your skin
Oh, a walking disaster
Every time you try to fly
You end up falling out of line,
Oh, you can’t, you can’t win, no

And you try, you try so hard
But it’s wearing on your heart
And you play, you play the game
But you pay, you pay for it
You can’t win, no
You can’t win no

If you speak, you’ll only piss ‘em off
If you don’t, you’re another robot
If you stop, they’ll just say you quit
If you don’t, you might lose your shit
You can’t win, no
You can’t win, no
You can’t win, no

The one who doesn’t quite fit in
Underdressed under your skin
Oh, a walking disaster
Every time you try to fly
You end up falling out of line,
Oh, you can’t, you can’t win, no

I can’t win

The one who doesn’t quite fit in
Underdressed under your skin
Oh, a walking disaster
Every time you try to fly
You end up falling out of line,
Oh, you can’t, you can’t win, no

You know you can’t, you can’t, you can’t win, no
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t win, no
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t win, no
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t win, no
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t win, no
