why is everyone leaving without me?
i know i don't run like they do or talk like they do or have memories like they do
but i thought
maybe things were changing
maybe i was finally starting to... fit in somewhere.
i will never fit in with them.

where did she go?
where did YOU go?
is there something i don't know?
something i shouldn't know?

now i hear their voices echoing across the halls
and i'm hiding in the bathroom
hearing them talk.
i didn't mean to eavesdrop
or listen to them at all
but i had nowhere to go
so i hid in the stall.

"where did she go?"
"why'd she run off?"
"why is she upset?"
so many questions questions
with no answers answers
so i ran from the problem
and hid altogether.

it's not about me
i know
i know
it just sucks to know
i don't belong.

im always saying the wrong things.
doing the wrong things.
handling it the wrong way.
i think id be better off not speaking at all.
