[Verse 1]
You walk in
Like the room’s your joke
Inside lines
Only you get told
You laugh loud
At the strangest times
I roll my eyes
Pretend I’m fine
[Chorus]
Alex
You’re just Alex
Too much for my small world
I say that you’re “so weird”
But it’s ‘cause I feel unsure
Alex
You’re just Alex
And I don’t know what to do
So I call you “strange” and “stupid”
When I’m scared of liking you
[Verse 2]
You mix stripes
With that ripped old vest
Tell big plans
With your whole damn chest
I talk small
So I stay unseen
You scare me
‘Cause you’re how I dream
[Chorus]
Alex
You’re just Alex
Too much for my small world
I say that you’re “so weird”
But it’s ‘cause I feel unsure
Alex
You’re just Alex
And I don’t know what to do
So I call you “strange” and “stupid”
When I’m scared of liking you
[Bridge]
Maybe I don’t hate you
Maybe I’m just twelve inside
Picking on the kid
Who’s not afraid to shine
If I ever say it right
Here’s the truth between the lines:
I wish I was like you
(yeah, I wish I was like you)
[Chorus]
Alex
You’re just Alex
Too much for my small world
I say that you’re “so weird”
But it’s ‘cause I feel unsure
Alex
You’re just Alex
And maybe if you knew
Every time I say “I hate you”
It’s ‘cause I wish I was you
