Being Me

I grew up in a small town
Taught myself to keep my head down
So no one asks any questions
Had a secret when I was 12
Heavy as The Bible on the shelf
No one I could tell

I'm not who they want me to be
Ever since I turned 17
I don't date girls and I don't bring them home
I pierced my ears with diamonds and gold
And I like the way it feels when he's kissing me
So I'm not sorry for being me

Imagine me at 17
My family can't even look at me
Blinded by their beliefs
Surrounded but all alone
In a house that should've been a home
But I know in my bones

I'm not who they want me to be
Ever since I turned 17
I don't date girls and I don't bring them home
I pierced my ears with diamonds and gold
And I like the way it feels when he's kissing me
So I'm not sorry for being me

Love is love is love
We come as we are
We're different but we're all made of the same stars
Love is love is love
We come as we are
We're different but we're all made of the same stars

I'm not who they want me be
Ever since I turned 17
I wear my pride like I wear my soul
And I'm not broken I am whole
And I like the way it feels when he's kissing me
And I'm not sorry for being me

Love is love is love
We come as we are
We're different but we're all made of the same stars

I wear my pride like I wear my soul
And I'm not broken I am whole
And I like the way it feels when he's kissing me
I'm not sorry for being me
