True to Myself
Everybody I knew
Everybody I said "Hi" to
All were scared
None ever cared
Each of them lions
Waiting in they're lair
Each of them waitin'
Each of them a player
A liar
Telling me fake statements
I'm just so tired
Of the insults that sound like compliments
Couldn't you just tell me
What you really feel
About me
You don't have to seal
That mouth of yours
Your feelings inside
Should be spilled on the floors
You can't keep them all inside.
Everyone's scared of me
Everyone's afraid
Nobody cares for me
They all hoped I would fade
Away
But I didn't
I'm still here
Force me, you couldn't
Just cry those tears
I'm sorry to torture you
I'm sorry to scare you
I didn't do anything
Just defended myself
Then all of a sudden
I'm the scapegoat
All of a sudden
I'm on the exile boat
And nobody believes me
Of course, nobody listens
I mean, who cares about
The little stupid asian
Who's too strong for
Her own good.
Who's too proud for
Her own good.
Who's going to like her
Who's going to care about her
Lets all ignore her
Lets all tease her
Its okay
She's stupid
We can just play
To her nothing's lucid
I'm never heard
So I make myself loud
I'm never seen
So I make myself vivd
But still
I'm labeled
As crazy
And still
I'm labeled
As ugly
But that I don't mind
Because I know its true
I don't mind
Because I know there's nothing I can do.
What could i do?
Punch them?
Beat them?
They'd just become more scared
Beg them?
They'd just laugh
Or use me
Politely ask them?
they'd look at me
Incredulously
And ask what happened to me
Who I was
So I'm stupid
And I'm fat
and I'm ugly
They all call me that.
Its nothing different
Its nothing new
My own living is sufficient
I don't need to be cute
So I express myself
The way I am
I'm true to myself
I'm not a sham
If you don't like me
the way I am
Then just deal with it
Or just kill me
You can get it done and over with.
But too bad for you
Too late for you
You should have done it before
When I had nothing to strive for
Now I have someone I love
Now I have someone I care about
Now I have someone I will live for
Whether or not he cares for me
Whether or not he feels the same way about me
He is still what I live for,
so if you want to kill me
I hope you'll wait and see
That maybe
I've changed
Maybe
Its a different song I sang
That its not me who has the blame.
