It’s rare you meet nice people in a town that’s built on tearing others down
That’s why it’s no surprise that that’s who I’d run into
You’d think that after all this time of feeling out of place
That it would get easier,
Not so
And in the shadows and I was cast on the road of the sideline
And Never getting told when I’d get to shine
Oh, ‘cause
I know you told me time and time again to wait my turn
But maybe, baby it was my turn and you misunderstood
But, I’ll be alright
When I leave this town
This town…
I wasn’t what you were used to, but you claimed to always understand
With an open mind
Yeah right…
All the things you said to me to keep me hanging on
Didn’t last
You didn’t wanna hear me,
And that alone made scars that feel like they may never heal
I know you told me time and time again to wait my turn
But maybe, baby it was my turn and you misunderstood
Yeah, but I’ll be alright
When I leave this town
This town…
When you get a second from doing 700 million things
You’ll realize that I was gone
And you were wrong
And you’d call me up for what you’d call a second chance,
But I need someone who gets it on the very first try
Try…
I’ll be alright
Oh, I’ll be alright
Let me go
Set me free
It’s getting cold in here, but I’ll be alright
Oh, I want you to know that I’ll be alright
I said we working
We working
I’m doing it, and I’m perfect
You know it
You know it
I said we working
We working
I’m doing it, and I’m perfect
You know it
You know it
Incoming breath
I mean, this time
I didn’t know you would be here
But, here I stand without question
‘cause there’s no coincidence here
That I’ll be alright
Alright
