Lyrics[]
[Intro]
(Backwards)
Lorem ipsum, lo-lorem ipsum
Lorem ipsum, lo-lorem ipsum
[Verse 1]
She walks in with a smile on her face
But deep inside she feels so out of place
She's trying hard to blend in with the crowd
But her heart's beating to a different sound
[Chorus]
She's a puzzle piece that doesn't fit
In a space that's too small for her to sit
She's trying hard to be someone else
But in the end, she's only fooling herself
[Post-Chorus]
(Backwards)
Lorem ipsum, lo-lorem ipsum
Lorem ipsum, lo-lorem ipsum
[Verse 2]
She's changing her looks and her style
Hoping to find a place where she can smile
But no matter how hard she tries
She can't escape from her own disguise
[Chorus]
She's a puzzle piece that doesn't fit
In a space that's too small for her to sit
She's trying hard to be someone else
But in the end, she's only fooling herself
[Post-Chorus]
(Backwards)
Lorem ipsum, lo-lorem ipsum
Lorem ipsum, lo-lorem ipsum
[Bridge]
She doesn't have to be like everyone else
She's unique in her own way
She just needs to embrace herself
And let her true colors shine today
[Chorus]
She's a puzzle piece that doesn't fit
In a space that's too small for her to sit
She's trying hard to be someone else
But in the end, she's only fooling herself
[Outro]
She'll find her place where she belongs
A space where she can sing her own songs
She'll be happy just being herself
And that's where she'll find true wealth.
