Some days I feel like I'm living a lie
Other days, I feel left behind
But on the sidewalk, the faces don't change
You can't escape it, but you're not to blame
And then it hits you why you're here again
Under the high rise, without any friends
"The money's worth it," you say with a smile
Sometimes it's worth it to be gone for a while
The TV talks, but you don't hear a thing
You'd better make sure you're alone when you sing
You're not different here, and that makes you grin
You're an outsider, led out but let in
And then it hits you why you're here again
Under the high rise, without any friends
"The money's worth it," you say with a smile
Sometimes it's worth it to be gone for a while
