Alien
Bailey Tzuke Lyrics

I was always the quiet one
Throughout my life, I tended to keep my own counsel and not say much.

You'd have so much going on
In contrast, other people I encountered always seemed to be doing something or had a lot of activity and excitement in their lives.

Nobody ever really knew me at all
As a result of my reserved nature, not many people seemed to truly understand who I was as a person.

I wanted to fly away
Sometimes, I longed to escape from my surroundings and find a new and better place to be in.

Somehow find a better day
In seeking to get away, my hope was that I would end up in a happier and more contented situation.

But you broke into my dreaming
However, my plans and wishes were disrupted when you appeared in my life.

And I always wanted to be like them
Before I met you, I had always desired to fit in with other people and be like them in many respects.

Always wanted to see things the same way
Part of my goal in trying to be like other people was to understand the world in the same way that they did.

I never felt like one of the girls
Despite my aspirations to be like others, I always felt like an outsider and different from most people around me.

I always felt like an alien
Perhaps due to the feeling of being on the outside and different, I often felt like a stranger in my own world.

I was always the mystery
My ambiguous and enigmatic personality only served to reinforce my sense of difference from others.

I danced to a different beat
My approach to life and habits were often markedly different from those of other people around me.

I stood on the outside watching you
Rather than be fully involved in social activities, I often took the role of an observer and watched others from a distance.

And in the middle of everything
Even when I was surrounded by other people and in the midst of activity, I still felt separate from everything that was going on.

I still didn't quite fit in
Ultimately, I never fully meshed with other people and always retained a sense of outsider status.

I always wanted to be like them
Despite my misgivings and feeling of being different, I still yearned to be fully accepted by others and fit in like everyone else.

But I never felt like one of the girls
Nevertheless, the fact remained that I saw myself as fundamentally different, and this continued to shape many of my thoughts and behaviors.

I always felt like an alien
Throughout my life and despite my efforts to change, I continued to feel detached and different from others, like an extraterrestrial or being from another planet.
