I remember climbing the stairs of a dirty old high school
you were there.
The first time I saw you, maybe the second.
I'm not for certain, I won't forget the light
coming from your eyes, caught me by surprise
It caught me by surprise.

If your not an angel, then the others are fake.
Those pretty eyes will see this world shake.
You do your best, you try to fit in
but it's useless you can't win

Because you
you're born to stand alone
Because you
you're born to stand alone
But that doesn't mean
that you're alone

If the sun sets, day becomes night.
Mountains hide the sun, there's no light
The ray just falls, the star won't quit.
But promise me this, that you won't forget the light
coming your eyes, caught me by surprise
It caught me by surprise.

If your not an angel, then the others are fake
Those pretty eyes will see this world shake.
You do your best, you try to fit in
but it's useless you can't win

Because you
you're born to stand alone
Because you
you're born to stand alone
But that doesn't mean...

Seven years go by so quick.
Tell me how you just bended.
Tell me that your sun still rises at noon,
and tell me that they never got the best of you.

Because you
you're born to stand alone
Yes you
are alone
But that doesn't mean
(you're alone)
