-repeat-
why i feel like an alien 
not part of the human race 
when my heart wants to burst 
at the sight of your face 
i feel like i'm suffering 
from a beautiful disease 
when your sad pretty smile 
brings me down to my knees 
Amsuch a simple thing Em  
          D7sus4- D  
it should be such a simple thing 
-repeat-
you can call me confused 
all that i can confess 
is i can't come to terms 
settle for something less 
will i feel this emotion 
till the day that i die? 
and go to my grave 
still wondering why 
i feel like an alien...
