The Misfit Page

Around the table, but still apart

In their perfect world

I'm a broken heart

Couldn't ask for better

That's the truth

But in their eyes

Was lost in my youth

Hometown ghosts, they follow me

In the night, in my dreams

Won't let me be

I sought acceptance

Ran from their view

But now I wonder if I lost them too

Around our town, their laughter gleams

But in my heart

It's shattered dreams

Their love surrounds me like a cage

In their perfect book

I'm the misfit page

Hometown ghosts, they follow me

In the night, in my dreams

Won't let me be

I sought acceptance

Ran from their view

But now I wonder if I lost them too

Maybe one day

I'll find a way

To take my name off the misfit page

Till then, I'll carry them close

The bittersweet tale of my hometown ghosts
