My skin is pale, it hurts to breathe
I’m staring at the crystal ceiling
The trees are blue and as I speak
It’s like you’re trying not to hear me

So I’ll be watching from the sideline
As your friends are telling you
That I am different and I won’t fit in

I hear them playing ‘Mr. Brightside’
And you’re dancing
As if you don’t even notice me
‘Cause I don’t fit in

You’ll never know what it’s like
Here on the outside
There’s a wall I don’t know how to get through
I wanna know what it’s like
But I’m stuck on the outside
And I’m longing for a place on the inside, with you

As it turns, the world is grey
It’s spinning while I sit in silence
My eyes are red and I’m ashamed
It gets impossible to hide it
So I will love you from the outside
When your friends are telling you
That I am different and I won’t fit in

I hear them playing ‘Mr. Brightside’
And you’re dancing
As if you don’t even notice me
‘Cause I don’t fit in

You’ll never know what it’s like
Here on the outside
There’s a wall I don’t know how to get through
I wanna know what it’s like
But I’m stuck on the outside
And I’m longing for a place on the inside with you

I know I don’t belong here, belong here with you
I know I don’t belong here, belong here with you
I know I don’t belong here, belong here with you

You’ll never know what it’s like
Here on the outside
There’s a wall I don’t know how to get through
I wanna know what it’s like
But I’m stuck on the outside
And I’m longing for a place on the inside, with you
I know I don’t belong here, belong here with you
I know I don’t belong here, belong here with you
