"alien" lyrics

In second grade, I didn't like dolls
I like to ride on my skateboard
My dad was confused and he'd say
"Did God get you wrong?"
I didn't know what to tell him
I was just seven years old

Now that I'm older, oh, I've been wondering
Was he onto something?

Maybe I'm just an alien fallen to Earth
I try to fit in but there's so much to learn
I'm so scared for the day that somebody finds out what I am

When I was ten, there was a boy
I said that I had a crush on
But that was a lie for my friends
And when he found out
We had a talk in the backyard
Our friendship was never the same

Now that I'm older, I think I knew
He's different too

Maybe I'm just an alien fallen to Earth
I try to fit in but there's so much to learn
I'm so scared for the day that they're all gonna know what I am

I am sweet, I am kind, do my best all the time
There are things I regret and sometimes I forget
I'm not mean perfectly, but I'm perfectly me
And I'm starting to love all the things that I am

Maybe I'm just an alien fallen to Earth
I try to fit in but there's so much to learn
Is it so bad to feel? I'll figure out what I am

I said it out loud so I think you all know what I am
