I NEVER UNDERSTOOD HUMANS
I NEVER COMPREHENDED THE BREED
I NEVER KNEW ONE TO BE SELFLESS
BUT SELFISH BECAUSE OF THEIR GREED.
I NEVER WAS TENDERLY TOUCHED
I NEVER CHERISHED, FELT
I NEVER KNEW THE TASTE OF LOVE
OR HOW IT LOOKED OR SMELT.
I NEVER HAD A HAND TO HOLD
OR SAW A HEART FELT SMILE
I NEVER KNEW WHAT IT WAS TO FEEL SAFE
OR PASSED A SECURE AND SURE WHILE.
I NEVER FIT IN WITH ANY GROUP
BUT HUNG AT THE OUTSKIRTS OF FEAR
THEIR DAGGERED EYES WOULD PIERCE MY HEART
AND SAY "YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE."
I NEVER GOT TO LET DOWN MY GUARD
I NEVER GOT TO BE
THE PERSON THAT I AM DEEP INSIDE
THE PERSON THAT IS ME.
MY PARENTS MADE ME RUN AWAY
THEY DROVE ME FROM MY HOME
THEY TOLD MY FAMILY THAT I WAS DEAD
AND SO I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ALONE.
SO LIFE HAS BEEN A LONELY WALK
AND SMILES, THEY HAVE BEEN FEW
BUT CAME THE DAY YOU LOOKED MY WAY
AND I FOUND A FRIEND IN YOU.
AND NOW I SEE THAT I WAS WRONG
MISTAKEN WAS MY HEART
JUST WHEN I'D BROKEN DOWN MY WALLS
YOU TORE MY SOUL APART.
BUT THAT'S OKAY, I'VE HURT BEFORE
I KNOW THAT PAIN SO WELL
MISFIT AM I, BANNED FROM THE SKY
AND BARRED FROM THE GATES OF HELL.
A LONELY WANDERER, NEVER HOME
WITH NOTHING TO DO BUT CRY
A PART BUT NOT REALLY, OF THE HUMAN RACE
AND NEVER KNOWING WHY.
