I see the messages light up my phone
Plans being made, but I'm left alone
Laughter echoes in my mind
But I'm always one step behind
They say"You're one of us" but it's not how it feels
This invisible wall, it's all too real
I'm the shadow on the edge of your light
Always watching, but never in sight
You make your plans, and I play along
But deep inside, I don't belong
(Oh-oh, I don't belong)
(Oh-oh, I don't belong)
Your circle's tight, and I'm on the fringe
A puzzle piece that doesn't fit in
I laugh too loud, I talk too slow
I'm the one you don't mean to show
They say"It's not like that, you're part of the crew"
But somehow I'm always the one you outgrew
I'm the shadow on the edge of your light
Always watching, but never in sight
You make your plans, and I play along
But deep inside, I don't belong
(Oh-oh, I don't belong)
(Oh-oh, I don't belong)
I tell myself I'll find my place
But I'm running in an endless race
Trying to be someone you'll see
But losing touch with the real me
(Oh-oh, I'm losing me)
(Oh-oh, I'm losing me)
I'm the shadow on the edge of your light
Always watching, but never in sight
You make your plans, and I play along
But deep inside, I don't belong
(Oh-oh, I don't belong)
(Oh-oh, I don't belong)
So I'll step back, and let you shine
Find my own way, leave this behind
No more shadows, no more fights
I'll find my place in my own light
(Oh-oh, my own light)
(Oh-oh, my own light)
