Lyrics

In the mirror there's a stranger
I feel I might have known
He looks like he's been running
Now he's tired and alone
So I asked my friend, the stranger
"Who are you running from?"
He stops, then he waits some, then he says:
"You've known all along"
I always was a happy child with a smile upon my face
Your average kid from a small old town where nothing's out of place
My friends and I
We'd talk a lot
Discuss the girls in sight
I'd always say how much I loved their eyes
But time went by
The feelings changed
And something wasn't right
A voice inside began to slowly rise
You're not like the others
Though you look the same
Somehow something differs
And all you feel is shame
You can feel it growing
And stirring from inside
Time to start running
From this difference that you have to hide
Skip ahead a couple years
And everything's now worse
That voice inside is now a shout
That follows me like a curse
All this time
I've played the part
And somehow I've survived
I kept the truth from anyone around
On the outside
I acted fine
But I was terrified
So I went along and never made a sound
'Cause I'm not like the others
Though I look the same
Somehow something differs
And all I feel is shame
This feeling isn't going
But growing stronger inside
How will I keep running
From this difference that I have to hide
I thought if they found out
I'd have to play the stereotype
Live up to being
Some reckless rainbow stripe
Kids are mean when they are young
And god knows what they would have done
So here I am hiding to this day
But I wonder what it would be like
For this feeling to go away
Although I think this little lie
Might have to stay in place
My "friends" are having more and more doubts
And wanted proof or trace
That all this time
I told the truth
Instead of something fake
Now they want me to tell them they were right
But there's no way
That that will be
There's too much here at stake
I'll find a way to prove them wrong
Maybe then they'll move along
And I will finally be free
Cause I'm not like the others
But I look the same
Yes something differs
But how am I to blame?
They'll see they had it all wrong
For what they thought was inside
But for now I'll keep running
From this difference
That I've had to hide
I have to hide
