I've been wondering all my life if it's all a big mistake.
Did I end up on this planet on my way to somewhere else.
Was I brought here on a spaceship.
Did they leave me or forget me.
Is there someone far away making rescue plans to get me
[Chorus]
For now, I'll just pretend that everything is fine.
That I feel good
That there is no need to cry.
I just pretend
That i feel right at home
And that I never feel alone.
I just keep smiling all day long.
Pretending like I belong
[Verse 2]
I can fake it all day long.
Put on a mask and play along.
If the whole world is a stage,
The pruduction is called LIFE.
Everyone has a scripted part.
But my script is for a different play.
So I try to improvise
make it up as I go along.
I can't keep this up forever.
Got to stop pretending.
My mask is slipping.
The real me is showing
People are starting to notice. They don't like what they see.
I've never hurt a soul. I couldn't hurt a fly.
But I am not like them.
And i guess that is enough
now the bullies come out.
making sure i understand that being different is a crime
So I try to stay away. I keep to myself.
I don't bother anyone
That's not enough, they tell me.
I'm a weirdo. I don't fit in. They don't like that
But they won't tell me why
[Lets out a desperte scream]
My head is spinning.
Where the hell is that spaceship?
How much longer do I have to stay here.
[Screams] JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
[Chorus]
Oh, get a grip now. Just pretend that everything is fine.
Stop the crying. They will smell the fear and hunt you down.
If they ask you, tell them you had a bad day, that's all
Keep on smiling. Pretend like you belong.
You belong, you belong, where the hell do you belong?
Where the hell do I belong
Lost on the spectrum
