(They'll never try, they'll never see
What it's like to be the other)

Never really knew what it meant
Just always knew that I was different
'Cause I see a woman in the mirror
But she's not in my reflection, yeah

Took a lot for me to realize
To open up and understand why
Why everybody looks at me like
I'm not what I ought to be

I feel it all, the rise of the fall
Pulling me under, me under
With the last breath I breathe
I swear I'll scream
Until my lungs burn
I am the other

They'll never try, they'll never see
What it's like to fight, it's like to be
The other, I am the other
We'll never hide, we'll never fear
What it's like to fight, it's like to be
The other, we are the other

I've been scratching at the surface
Trying to find out where the hurt is
Now that I'm dancing with my demons
I'm making everybody nervous

I have to walk the path in front of me
'Cause I'm not one for following
And I will not apologize
Or lie for who I am

They'll never try, they'll never see
What it's like to fight, it's like to be
The other, I am the other
We'll never hide, we'll never fear
What it's like to fight, it's like to be
The other, we are the other

I feel it all, the rise of the fall
Pulling me under, me under
With the last breath I breathe
I swear I'll scream
Until my lungs burn
I am the other

They'll never try, they'll never see
What it's like to fight, it's like to be
The other, I am the other
We'll never hide, we'll never fear
What it's like to fight, it's like to be
The other, we are the other
