"Odd Man Out" lyrics

"Odd Man Out"

They don't think I understand
When I'm not feeling like myself
That's why I leave when I can
Taking the odd man out

Now and then I have the feeling
They're just outside looking in
When I'm surrounded by these strangers
I feel like the odd man out (here I am)

You are who we say you are
Why can't you leave me alone?
We know you know who we are
Why won't you tell me what you want from me?

I hear them having conversations
But they keep it to themselves
And half the time I can't remember
Who is the odd man out

Who is the odd man out

I have so many mixed emotions
Is this life I live my own?
I hear them whispering my name
Am I the odd man out?

Who am I to be this time?
Am I on my own?
Tell me who you see or do you know?

Who am I to be this time?
Make me feel at home
Don't let me spend too much time alone

Too much time alone

Who am I to be this time?
Am I on my own?
Tell me who you see or do you know?

Who am I to be this time?
Make me feel at home
Don't let me spend too much time alone

They don't think I understand
When I'm not feeling like myself
That's why I leave when I can
Taking the odd man out
