Outsiders – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Outside we're lonely but we are free
...
We're misfits, rebels, we're creeps and freaks
...
How come they've got it figured out
While we're lost, waiting to be found?
Maybe we need something different now
For every broken bone and every lie you've told
Every time you're lost and you can't find home
This is for the ones who always feel alone
We are outsiders
Living inside a broken world
We are outsiders
And I know sometimes it can hurt
But it gets better yeah we'll make it through
We'll stay golden when we're black and blue
We are outsiders
But we're not hiding anymore
This is who we really are
Inside they talk about all their plans
Must be nice to have someone light your path
...
But inside their hearts are breaking
Cause they don't know what they're missing
Outside we're lonely but we are free
For every broken bone and every lie you've told
Every time you're lost and you can't find home
This is for the ones who always feel alone
We are outsiders
Living inside a broken world
We are outsiders
And I know sometimes it can hurt
But it gets better yeah we'll make it through
We'll stay golden when we're black and blue
We are outsiders
But we're not hiding anymore
This is who we really are
...
For every broken bone and every lie you've told
Every time you're lost and you can't find home
This is for the ones who always feel alone
We are outsiders
Living inside a broken world
We are outsiders
And I know sometimes it can hurt
But it gets better yeah we'll make it through
We'll stay golden when we're black and blue
We are outsiders
But we're not hiding anymore
This is who we really are
...
