[Verse 1]

I watch the sunrise through stained glass windows
I love the silence inside these walls
I mix the pieces of different puzzles
The way I see things doesn't fit at all

[Pre-Chorus]

I could blame myself cause I'm not the same
But I can't change

[Chorus}

We are the lonely kids
We're on the outside looking in
Our hearts are breaking
Cause we don't know where to begin
We are the lonely kids
Stuck in a world we don't fit in
Cause we can't fake it, our hearts are breaking
Trying to pretend
Whoa, we're trying to pretend

[Verse 2]
I scroll through screens of smiling faces
Shallow phrases that I can't feel at all
Scripts and stages, wars and hatred
They fight the changes but it doesn't work at all

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't blame yourself, cause we're not the same
We can light the way

[Chorus}

We are the lonely kids
We're on the outside looking in
Our hearts are breaking
Cause we don't know where to begin
We are the lonely kids
Stuck in a world we don't fit in
Cause we can't fake it, our hearts are breaking
Trying to pretend
Whoa, we're trying to pretend

[Bridge]
We're trying to pretend
And oh, we're trying to pretend
Whoa ah oh
[Chorus}

We are the lonely kids
We're on the outside looking in
Our hearts are breaking
Cause we don't know where to begin (we don't know where to begin)
We are the lonely kids
Stuck in a world we don't fit in (and we don't fit in)
Cause we can't fake it, our hearts are breaking
We're trying to pretend
Whoa, we're trying to pretend
We're trying to pretend
