He looked so ordinary That’s what everybody said But he lived in purgatory And no-one ever knew He looked so ordinary

Super-friendly on the outside Waters running deep within Pretending has its downsides That lurk behind the boyish grin He looked so ordinary That’s what everybody said But he lived in purgatory No one ever knew He looked so ordinary

He looked so ordinary You wouldn’t give a second glance He hid it well behind the facade You know he never had a chance He was ordinary You wouldn’t look twice He looked so ordinary And no-one ever knew
