You don't know my name You don't know anything about me I try to play nice I want to be in your game The things that you say You may think I never hear about them But word travels fast I'm telling you to your face I'm standing here behind your back [Chorus] You don't know how it feels To be outside the crowd You don't know what it's like To be left out And you don't know how it feels To be your own best friend on the outside looking in If you could read my mind You might see more of me than meets the eye And you've been all wrong Not who you think I am You've never given me a chance [Chorus] Well, I'm tired of staying at home I'm bored and alone I'm sick of wasting all my time [Chorus: x2]
