I do what

Any normal person would do

I eat

Sleep

Drink

Work

And one day I'm gonna die

But all of these things cover up my lie

My lie to the world

Lie to the world

Lie to the world

I appear to be normal enough

A girl like any other

One with no extraordinary ability

That anyone can see

But if you'd just look closer

If you'd just take the time to

You would find out that

I'm the female entity that

If you're gonna play

Captain Obvious,

Lives next door

I am the girl next door

The girl next door

I shut myself away

Guard my secrets carefully

I am a mystery

Mystery

Mystery

Known only by the title 

I've been given

I baffle landlords and peeping toms alike

Who am I really?

What am I really like?

Could you actually grow to love me? 

I don't even know myself

I am the girl next door

The girl next door

I do what any chica does in a day

I eat

Sleep

Drink

Work

And one day I'm gonna die

Mama says that I am so special

So unique

Quite a character

But what really makes me

Stand out from the crowd

Could someone please tell me

Could someone please show me

Cos in my mind I'm just like everyone else

Nothing special

Nothing special

Or are these thoughts a bunch of lies

Bunch of lies

Bunch of lies

I appear to be your average chica

With my raven hair and leopard eyes

With no extraordinary gifts

That is obvious from sight

But guys

I can tell you now that

If you'd look closer

If you'd take the time to

You would see that 

I'm the creature that,

If you're gonna play

Captain Obvious,

Lives next door

I am the girl next door

The girl next door

I shut myself away

Guard my secrets carefully

I am the greatest cold case

Cold case 

Cold case

I am the girl next door

The girl next door

But I assure you know 

That I am no cliche

Who am I really?

What am I really like?

Could you actually grow to love me? 

I don't even know myself

I am the girl next door

The girl next door

An ordinary life

With an extraordinary destiny

Maybe it's so

Maybe it's not

Who knows

Who cares

Whatever life throws

I think that I can take it

When life is hard

I think I can make it

When life turns into hell

I refuse to break down

I say

Bring it on

I'm the ghost that

If you're gonna play

Captain Obvious

Lives next door

I am the girl next door

The girl next door

I shut myself away

Guard my secrets carefully

I am the greatest riddle made

Riddle made

Riddle made

I  am the girl next door

The girl next door

But I think it's safe to say that

Ordinary is not in my definition

It's not what sums me up

I will always keep you guessing

Who am I really?

What am I really like?

Could you actually grow to love me? 

I don't even know myself

I am the girl next door

The girl next door

The girl next door

Who am I really?

What am I really like?

Could you actually grow to love me? 

I don't even know myself

I am the girl next door

The girl next door
