Lyrics

(verse 1) I've cut my hair And changed my clothes But made it so nobody knows Cause differents weird but weirds amazing to me I hide away from my home They don't accept me for who I chose They think I'm not fit for here (pre-chorus) I try to be the best I can But it never goes right in the end (chorus) My mother told me to be myself My father said don't listen to anyone else But when I take their advice Now it's not right To be myself My mother told me to be myself My father said don't listen to anyone else But when I take their advice Now it's not right To be myself To be myself (verse 2) I change my name And I look my part I knew I wasn't right from the start I may be young but I am smart And I know what is me and what is not I try to change the way that I act I didn't like my self but now I can But with everyone's opinion it's hard (pre-chorus) I try to be the best I can But it never goes right in the end (chorus) My mother told me to be myself My father said don't listen to anyone else But when I take their advice Now it's not right To be myself My mother told me to be myself My father said don't listen to anyone else But when I take their advice Now it's not right To be myself To be myself (verse 3) And now I don't feel like this is home And school is no place to go I don't fit in but no one knows That my feelings are taking control And I change myself to feel okay But it's completely wrong to society To be myself to feel okay So now I feel decayed (chorus) My mother told me to be myself My father said don't listen to anyone else But when I take their advice Now it's not right To be myself My mother told me to be myself My father said don't listen to anyone else But when I take their advice Now it's not right To be myself To be myself My mother told me to be myself My father said don't listen to anyone else But when I take their advice Now it's not right To be myself To be myself (ending) To be myself To be myself To be myself
