Icon
You've been telling me lies
I see you when you're trying
I've known you since we were kids
You've been left alone way too many times
And figured out, you're different from the rest
Can't tell right from wrong
Or which filter's on
It's not easy knowing who you are
You're changing who you are
But let me tell you
Never change who you are
For someone else than yourself
Never let them tell you
You're not enough
Be your own icon
An example for the rest
Watch the consequence
Of being yourself
Open your eyes now
And see where this is going
You're turning in to someone else
All that I can do is give you a warning
And let you know what you're going to become
You've started showing
A shallow side of you
A side based on a lie, cause I know you
You're changing who you are
To make a stranger like you
I need you as you were
A friend I can rely on
Never change who you are
For someone else than yourself
Never let them tell you
You're not enough
Be your own icon
An example for the rest
Watch the consequence
Of being yourself
Come join us
Don't fight us
Come join us
Don't fight us
Can you hear them calling you?
Can you see they want you too?
Never let them get to you
Choose your way before it's too late
A second hand
Man or woman
Is not someone who owns themselves
Taking every step
To make themselves
A perfect and useless marionette
Never change who you are
For someone else than yourself
Never let them tell you
You're not enough
Be your own icon
An example for the rest
Watch the consequence
Of being yourself
Never change who you are
For someone else than yourself
Never let them tell you
You're not enough
Be your own icon
An example for the rest
Watch the consequence
Of being yourself
I see you when you're trying
I've known you since we were kids
You've been left alone way too many times
And figured out, you're different from the rest
Can't tell right from wrong
Or which filter's on
It's not easy knowing who you are
You're changing who you are
But let me tell you
Never change who you are
For someone else than yourself
Never let them tell you
You're not enough
Be your own icon
An example for the rest
Watch the consequence
Of being yourself
Open your eyes now
And see where this is going
You're turning in to someone else
All that I can do is give you a warning
And let you know what you're going to become
You've started showing

A side based on a lie, cause I know you

A friend I can rely on
Never change who you are

Never let them tell you
You're not enough
Be your own icon

Of being yourself
Come join us

Come join us
Don't fight us
Can you hear them calling you?

Never change who you are
For someone else than yourself
Never let them tell you
You're not enough

An example for the rest
Watch the consequence
Of being yourself
Never change who you are
For someone else than yourself
Never let them tell you
You're not enough
Be your own icon
An example for the rest
Watch the consequence
Of being yourself
