Outside — Mariah Carey

It's hard to explain Inherently it's just always been strange Neither here nor there Always somewhat out of place everywhere Ambiguous Without a sense of belonging to touch Somewhere halfway Feeling there's no one completely the same

Chorus

Standing alone Eager to just Believe it's good enough to be what You really are But in your heart Uncertainty forever lies And you'll always be Somewhere on the Outside

Early on, you face The realization that you don't Have a space Where you fit in And recognize you Were born to exist

Chorus

And it's hard And it's hard And it's hard

Bridge

Irreversibly Falling in between And it's hard And it's hard To be understood As you are As you are Oh, and God knows That you're standing on your own Blind and unguided Into a world divided You're thrown Where you're never quite the same Although you try- try and try You really are But in your heart- uncertainty forever lies And you'll always be Somewhere on the outside And you'll always be Somewhere on the outside
