"Different"

There's a girl in the back and she's praying
She is hoping for something to change in
In her life, all she wants is for someone
To understand

All she knows is that it doesn't feel right
They all say she's a boy, but that's not right
They don't see who she is on the inside
"Please understand"

"I'm just like you, you're just like me
So why do you call me freak
It's not my fault that you can't see
Who I am"

"Different", I'm not different
"Special", what's so different?
When will you grow up and see this is me
"You're too young to understand
Who you are", who I am?
When will you finally see, this is me

There's a boy in the front row and every
Body's staring at him, some are angry
"Why's she dressed like a boy, why's her hair short?"
They don't understand, oh

Oh, he knows, he is sure, he is finally
Coming out to the world, with his family
He is strong, he is brave, he is happy
They understand

"I'm just like them, they're just like me
So why do they all call me freak?
It's not my fault that they can't see
Who I am"

"Different", I'm not different
"Special", what's so different?
When will you grow up and see this is me
"You're too young to understand
Who you are", who I am?
When will you finally see, this is me

Leave me alone, leave me alone
Please let me be, leave me alone
Why can't you see this is all a nightmare, let me be
Leave me alone, leave me alone
Please let me be me on my own
Why can't you see you are all a nightmare, let me be

There are so many people afraid of
Being who they are, they're afraid of
The cruel world, of its hate, they're afraid of
You, understand

"Different", I'm not different
"Special", what's so different?
When will you grow up and see this is me
"You're too young to understand
Who you are", who I am?
When will you finally see, this is me

"Different", I'm not different
"Special", what's so different?
When will you grow up and see this is me
"You're too young to understand
Who you are", who I am?
When will you finally see, this is me
