(Verse 1)
I don’t wear the right clothes, don’t say the right things
I trip on my words and fall out of sync
They’ve got circles I can’t seem to spin in
Like there’s a rulebook I was never given
I smile when I’m breaking, stay calm when I shake
Keep showing up even when I ache
I study their faces, I copy their moves
But somehow I’m always the one who loses
(Pre-Chorus)
They don’t see the fire in my chest
They just see a girl who doesn’t fit with the rest
(Chorus)
But I’m tryin’, even when they look away
Tryin’, even when there’s nothing they say
I’m pushing through the noise, through the doubt
Even if no one ever figures me out
I fall, I cry, I break — but I stay
I don’t fit in…
But I’m tryin’ anyway
(Verse 2)
They laugh a little softer when I speak
Like I’m some puzzle that’s missing a piece
But I’ve got dreams they’ll never touch
And a heart that still believes too much
I care too loud, I feel too deep
I lose sleep over things they’d never keep
But I show up, and I give my all
Even if no one ever sees me at all
(Pre-Chorus)
I don’t shine the way they do
But I’ve got a light I’m holding onto
(Chorus)
And I’m tryin’, even when the room goes cold
Tryin’, though I never fit the mold
I’m climbing up through every no
Even if I’ve got a long way to go
I fall, I cry, I break — but I stay
I don’t fit in…
But I’m tryin’ anyway
(Bridge)
Maybe I was made to stand apart
To lead with my own kind of heart
Maybe fitting in ain’t the goal
Maybe I’m just learning to feel whole
(Final Chorus)
So I’m tryin’, not to be like them
Tryin’, just to love myself again
I’m rising up from what they don’t see
Becoming who I’m meant to be
I fall, I cry, I break — but I stay
I don’t fit in…
But I’m tryin’ anyway
