The Other by Tonight Alive Lyrics

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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus 1]
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

[Chorus 2]
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
