INVISIBLE.
VERSE 1
Conceal all that’s real.
Sacrifice your happiness.
Product of a not so perfect world.
Blend in a crowded room.
Befriend by pretend.
FIT IN BUT YOU’LL NEVER BE A PART.
TALK BUT NEVER BE HEARD.
EXPLAIN BUT NO-ONE CAN UNDERSTAND.
JUST MAYBE SEEN BUT FOREVER INVISIBLE.
Verse 2
Their words seen sacred.
Every action idolised.
Bent over backwards but no-one can realise,
what you’ve sacrificed.
All that you’ve lost don’t reach their hearths.
Than why try to,
FIT IN BUT YOU’LL NEVER BE A PART.
TALK BUT NEVER BE HEARD.
EXPLAIN BUT NO-ONE CAN UNDERSTAND.
JUST MAYBE SEEN BUT FOREVER INVISIBLE.
WIL MY THOUGHTS EVER DARE TO FIND VOICE.
OR WILL I GET LOST IN AN IMAGE.
IT’S JUST A DREAM NOTHING BUT A WISH TO BE.
WHAT ARE THE ODDS FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME?

Overall, it's pretty good, but DON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPS. IT'S REALLY ANNOYING AND HARDER TO READ. I'M ONLY TYPING LIKE THIS TO PROVE A POINT. The words should stand out on their own.
Also in the second verse, I'm not sure "hearth" is the best word. Did you mean "hearts"? Also I think "don't" should be doesn't and "seen" (in the first line) should be "seem".
The last line of the first verse "Befriend by pretend" doesn't make sense as-is. Either "Brefriending pretend" or "Befriended by pretend" would make more sense. You might also want to replace "pretend" with an appropriate synonym.
Despite these nitpicks, I still liked it. Good job!
um, i love the song, saw the resemblance
very neat insight, Broken-image
also, very true.
