Colour returned to my cheeks watching my favourite band in the August sun
Feelings I’d repressed bubble up, the future has begun
They showed me it was okay to be the way I am
And as long as I’m not dying I can exist without a plan

How can you not understand?
How can you feel the way you do?
I won’t let you hurt my friends
I won’t entertain you

Come down and sing at the top of your voice
You’re always gonna be with me against my choice

I’ve been strong, I’ve been brave, I’ve been scared, but I’m still here
Spent so long at the gates of my head just wishing for all to be clear
You think I am the enemy but I just want to exist
No matter what you call at me, you are nothing compared to this

How can you not understand?
How can you feel the way you do?
I won’t let you hurt my friends
I won’t entertain you

Come down and sing at the top of your voice
You’re always gonna be with me against my choice

I drink ‘til I cry, never question why
I stay out too late until the pavement is flush with my face
I love being who I am
I don’t give a damn what you think, I’m right
And I’ll try, I’ll try until I feel alright
I love being who I am
I don’t give a damn what you think, I’m right
And I’ll try, I’ll try until I feel alright
I love being who I am
I don’t give a damn what you think, I’m right
And I’ll try, I’ll try until I feel alright
I love being who I am
I don’t give a damn what you think, I’m right
And I’ll try, I’ll try until I feel alright

Come down and sing at the top of your voice
You’re always gonna be with me against my choice
