In My World

( Verse 1)

This room's so full of people, but I don't see one friendly face,

Just standing on the outside, like I don't belong in this damn place.

They all talk and they all laugh, in some way I'll never know,

My own words get all twisted, or they just refuse to flow.

I'm on a different wavelength, always out of step, out of key,

Just searching for some quiet place, that's really meant for me.

( Pre-Chorus)

Yeah, this outside world gets louder, and the faces start to blur,

And the ache deep in my chest now, is a pain I just endure.

So I slip away real quiet, from their judgment and their empty stares,

Got a hidden world inside me, a secret no one ever shares.

( Chorus)

But in my world, in my world, they all know the real me,

Not like out here, somewhere I don't belong.

Yeah, in my world, in my world, my characters wait for me,

They understand my silence, they let my true self be.

This is my real haven, from all the hurt and the lies,

The only place I fit in, where I'm finally not alone.

( Verse 2)

It's not just some daydream, not just pictures in my head,

These friends are truer, than anything they've ever said.

They are my family, something I've always craved.

Each one has their own story, a voice that's strong and true,

In their world, I am valued, there's a place for me too.

(Chorus)

But in my world, in my world, they all know the real me,

Not like out here, somewhere I don't belong.

Yeah, in my world, in my world, my characters wait for me,

They understand my silence, they let my true self be.

This is my real haven, from all the hurt and the lies,

The only place I fit in, where I'm finally not alone.

( Bridge)

This quiet little kingdom, is the only strength I've known.

It's a fragile kind of comfort, a bittersweet escape, it's true.

Out there I'm just a shadow, lost and empty inside,

But in here, I'm the writer, and each character knows my name.

This isn't just a daydream, it's the power to be free,

To build a world that's perfect, just for them and me.

( Chorus)

But in my world, in my world, they all know the real me,

Not like out here, somewhere I don't belong.

Yeah, in my world, in my world, my characters wait for me,

They understand my silence, they let my true self be.

This is my real haven, from all the hurt and the lies,

The only place I fit in, where I'm finally not alone.

(Outro)

So I stay here a while longer...

Where I know I'm understood.

It's quiet here... and I am free.

Until the outside calls...

Then I'll come back... to them.

here... and I am free.

Until the outside calls...

Then I'll come back... to them.

(Outro)

So I stay here a while longer...

Where I know I'm understood.

It's quiet here... and I am free.

Until the outside calls...

Then I'll come back... to them.

here... and I am free.

Until the outside calls...

Then I'll come back... to them.
