I'm not the one who has to talk all the time
I'm more the one who can bare silence for a while

I'm not the one who when things go bad starts to cry
I'm more the one staying cool with a smile


They say I'm different 'cause I'm listening
They're talking while I'm not
They say I'm wrong 'cause I'm strong

Even sad I can shut up
They say I should change, become cooler
That I could be their ruler

If I turned into something I'm not

Chorus:

That's not me
Sorry
I'd really like to be

Left alone by those who say follow the crowd
Yeah, that's not me
Sorry

Now please just let me be
Oh, let me be me


I'm not the one to care for popularity
I'm more the one searching for individuality
I'm not the one who you can tell what to do

I'm more the one throwing the ball back to you

I know I'm different 'cause I'm listening

They're talking while I'm not
No it's not wrong to be strong
And to be able to shut up

I know they all changed, became cooler
So they could be a ruler
But I won't turn into something I'm not


Chorus


What makes you think that only one way's right?
That nobody can have a differnet life
I wanna do the things the way I like

And not the way you do

Chorus
