Haunted

Why does it have to be this way?

I put up with this shit every day,

Why does it have to be this way?

I start to walk over to you,

I want to talk to you but I don’t know what the hell to say,

You just look right through me like you want nothing to do with me,

What can I do to fit in this school?

Must I follow every rule that the popular crowd follow?

But when I try to involve myself I just blend in like a shadow cause' I follow them but I can't keep up,

Am I a ghost around here?

This place feels so haunted,

With all these crowds around me I feel like I'm being taunted,

I don't feel included,

I just feel deluded,

In this secluded space on my own,

They look right through me like I'm invisible,

All I need is a friend to rely on,

Just that one extra shoulder to cry on,

I need someone to dry my tears when I cry,

I need someone who actually cares when I try,

My parents say darling it’s all in your mind,

Go out there and show them that you're one of a kind,

But they don't realize that true friends are so frickin' hard to find,

Am I a ghost around here?

This place feels so haunted,

With all these crowds around me I feel like I'm being taunted,

I don't feel included,

I just feel deluded,

In this secluded space on my own,

They look right through me like I'm invisible,

But then... things looked up and so I thought it was time for change…

I saw two girls, no it was three,

They looked familiar and similar to me,

There was a doubt,

Figured it out,

I went over to them and completed the picture...

I was a ghost around here and yes, this place is haunted by the ghost that I once was,

There are crowds around me but I don't feel taunted cause' I'm part of one,

I now feel included,

I don't feel deluded and I'm in no secluded space anymore,

The ghost I was has turned invisible.
