Song Description

Sometimes you'll never belong and are bound to remain the foreigner - whether culturally, socially, physically - no matter how hard you try to fit in.

Lyrics

I sound so stupid when I speak
The flesh is willing but the spirit?s weak
Am I the only one who feels this?
I?m so dependent, I?m going mad
And feeling sorry for myself again
And I don?t know how I can heal this

Torn between two separate worlds
Do you know how it feels to be the foreigner?
Tell me, how am I supposed to escape it?
They don?t know what I go through to fake it
That?s how it?s come to be

Chorus:
Maybe it?s easy to forget that I?m not at home here
Just because I?ve tried so very hard not to be too different
And lately it?s easy to regret I decided to roam here
So take the time to stop and really see
I?m not as tough as I seem

You build your nest, you grow your roots
Feel something crunching underneath your boots
Sometimes you don?t know what it?s taking
So change the subject and spiral down
Keep on smiling and ignore the sound
Of all the glass you know is breaking

Sometimes I feel like a little girl
And after seven years, I?m still such a foreigner
Tell me, how am I supposed to escape it?
They don?t know what I go through to fake it
But will they ever see?

Maybe it?s easy to forget that I?m not at home here
Just because I?ve tried so very hard not to be too different
And lately it?s easy to regret I decided to roam here
So take the time to stop and really see
That I?m not as tough as I seem

I?m torn between two separate worlds
Do you know what it means to be a foreigner?

Maybe it?s easy to forget that I?m not at home here
Just because I?ve tried so very hard not to be too different
And lately it?s easy to regret I decided to roam here
So take the time to stop and really see
That I?m not as tough as I seem
No, I?m not as tough as I seem
I?m just a foreigner
