Ugly Duckling

Don't have the luxury (beggars can't choose)
To refuse a party (accept it!)
Can't say no (YES!)
Can't say no (YES!)
Saying yes to nothing (go anyway)
Non-living gatherings (go there go there go there)

They don't want to see me (I'm fine!)
Got to be fine by me (I am!)
I'm lonely (NO!)
I'm so free (YES!)
My opportunity (take it!)
I have to be happy (I'm fine with it!)

They say that I'll never fit in
'Cause I'm just an ugly duckling
But I'm hoping they'll take me in
If I forget how to spread my wings

Ugly ducklings never fit in
I shouldn't even try to sing
And in the hope they'll take me in
I'll stay hidden right under my wings

Got to take a picture (flash it brighter!)
Say that I'm a writer (sing it louder!)
Look at me! (I exist!)
Who am I? (an artist!)
I'm a human being (don't dream that big)
I got to share my dreams (no you don't)

I got to hold my tongue (shut up!)
Because I don't belong (shhhh)
Stay quiet! (whisper!)
"And like this?" (much better!)
No right to opinions (just listen!)
Not a thought of my own (now you got it!)

They say that I'll never fit in
'Cause I'm just an ugly duckling
But I'm hoping they'll take me in
If I forget how to spread my wings

Ugly ducklings never fit in
I shouldn't even try to sing
And in the hope they'll take me in
I'll stay hidden right under my wings

Got to be the strong one (don't fail!)
Say I'm the heartless one (close your heart!)
No weakness (be stronger!)
A fortress (stop crying!)
Love to be by myself (tell them!)
Hear what I tell myself (believe me!)

I hate everyone (say it again)
Don't need anyone (say it out loud!)
I hate everyone (got to believe it!)
Don't need anyone (not loud enough yet!)
I hate everyone (I think they got it!)
Don't need anyone (so why don't you?)
I hate everyone (I don't believe it!)
Don't need anyone ('cause it's not true!)

Say I'm an ugly duckling
I'm just a swan in hiding
Just want my place in the pond
Trying to create a bond

Don't want a duck family
That rejects or accepts me
I want my swan family
One that can only love me

If I ever found my swans
Could they still let me be one?
So long I denied myself
They would just kill me instead

They say that I'll never fit in
'Cause I'm just an ugly duckling
But I'm hoping they'll take me in
If I forget how to spread my wings

Ugly ducklings never fit in
I shouldn't even try to sing
And in the hope they'll take me in
I'll stay hidden right under my wings
