Alternate
Can't say that I fit in with the rest
Always settled for second best
"What's she got?" never really was my style
I know the minute I see her bright smile
Golden laurels were never mine
My crowns were always made of twine
But even if my fame's just been displaced
I'm sure in no time I'd just be replaced
I've always been the alternate
A broken puzzle piece that never fit
Never had a broken heart
'Cause no one's ever gotten close enough to see my scars
You know I got that concrete skin
I won't ever let the demons win
Sometimes sitting here it feels so dark
Left alone with just my empty heart
Can I just forget all the mistakes I've made
Feels like they're getting clearer every day
I've always known that one day we'll all go
Sometimes that hits a little close to home
I've always been the alternate
A broken puzzle piece that never fit
Never had a broken heart
'Cause no one's ever gotten close enough to see my scars
Careful, you might hear my inner thoughts
I've tried so hard to get them to stop
They say that one day I will get my turn
But if that's true why do I keep on falling down
(Down)
Down into the dark
I'll hide away where you will never find me chasing you
Into a stream
A stream of haunted thoughts and faded dreams
(Calling out)
Calling your name
There's no response and I'm not even sure I want to leave
Leave and escape
Escape the burning walls that surround me
Always settled for second best
"What's she got?" never really was my style
I know the minute I see her bright smile
Golden laurels were never mine
My crowns were always made of twine
But even if my fame's just been displaced
I'm sure in no time I'd just be replaced
I've always been the alternate
A broken puzzle piece that never fit
Never had a broken heart
'Cause no one's ever gotten close enough to see my scars
You know I got that concrete skin
I won't ever let the demons win
Sometimes sitting here it feels so dark
Left alone with just my empty heart
Can I just forget all the mistakes I've made
Feels like they're getting clearer every day
I've always known that one day we'll all go
Sometimes that hits a little close to home
I've always been the alternate
A broken puzzle piece that never fit
Never had a broken heart
'Cause no one's ever gotten close enough to see my scars
Careful, you might hear my inner thoughts
I've tried so hard to get them to stop
They say that one day I will get my turn
But if that's true why do I keep on falling down
(Down)
Down into the dark
I'll hide away where you will never find me chasing you
Into a stream
A stream of haunted thoughts and faded dreams
(Calling out)
Calling your name
There's no response and I'm not even sure I want to leave
Leave and escape
Escape the burning walls that surround me
