Danielle's cool and confident, Sophie's ritzy and refined
Brittany's smart and striking, and a savvy mastermind
I want to be like them, and have something of my own
They have a kind of connection that I have never known
As long as I remember, I've been told that I am strange
The friends I make don't stay too long, but this time that'll change
To me, the beats, the lights, the crowds, are only an ordeal
But I will face them smiling if I can feel like I belong
Not the bookish girl who's picked last, but like I belong
Someday I'll move past this feeling that somehow I'm doing something wrong
I never liked the status quo
But this way I'll know I belong
It's like I'm from a different world, so many things I miss
I don't get how they can dance all night, or why they'd want to kiss
I search for answers everyday, but no one feels the way I do
This unrest in my heart might go away if I'm like you
Like I belong
Not the bookish girl who's picked last, but like I belong
Someday I'll move past this feeling that somehow I'm doing something wrong
I never liked the status quo
But this way I'll know I belong
I'm scared if I don't take this chance, they'll never like what they see
I'm prepared to find someone to dance with if it has to be
I dared to hope in this expanse there were people just like me
But if I face reality I can stay
Where someday I'll belong
Free from all this doubt if I just play along
What I'd give to live without this feeling that somehow I'm doing something wrong
This loneliness will go
Once I face this I'll know I belong
