I saw you last night, you hadn't changed a bit
I never once imagined it would come to this
I was on the outside all alone
A starry-eyed kid just trying to fit it
You were different from the ones that were laughing
And through it all you were the one
The one who talked to me and stood by me
You kept a little girl from being oh-so lonely
Now I can say
Thank you for humoring me and dealing with my naivety
I want you to know it meant so much to me
You were a bright star in a dark sky
You helped me when so often I would wonder why
Why I was always on my own
I was so sad then, my heart was aching
Life to me was utterly depressing
Still through it all you were the one
And now I'm older, a little wiser
It's taken eight whole years just to realize and
Now I can say
Thank you for humoring me and dealing with my naivety
I want you to know it meant so much to me
Why do I, I shut myself out
I'm in the dark constantly tearing at the walls
Intent on being inside
Inside, the inside
Wanna be on the inside
I'm so tired of trying to fit in
I'm so sick and tired of trying to cross that line
Can you tell me how
How, tell me how
Won't you tell me how
