Coming Out

Outside the sky is clear. Its dark tonight, at least from in here

There are millions of people doing millions of things

But somewhere there is a girl, sitting alone, wishing things could change

I dont know how long ive been here

I dont know how long i'll stay

But i know that it seems like things are never going to change

Somewhere someone is happy

Somewhere someone is sad

There are people falling in love

There are people being bad

As i sit here all alone, i try not to be mad

But its hard when everywhere i look, everyone appears to be glad

It seems as though i dont fit in

Maybe thats how its suppost to be

Maybe thats why im here

I try to find the answers i look and look and look

But everytime i see the light, it quickly disappears

So what do you do when the right thing cant be found

What do you do when all you want is to be found yourself

Somewhere someone is happy

Somewhere someone is sad

And somewhere there's a girl sitting on her ass
