I grew up seeing life in a different way
I've seen so much, so much damn people
Failing for not listening to others
But I've seen more fall, I've seen more fall
I've seen more fall for not listening to themselves

And no, I'm not willing to give up my happiness for someone else
A tough road, with a broken heart, but holding my head high
Even when the tide gets rough
No matter who criticizes me
I'm looking for love outside of myself, I know it's wrong
But I'm learning to love myself a little more each day
A little more each day, oh
I won't let anyone try to use me
And I refuse to take advice from someone who isn't willing to understand me
Damn it!

I'm not the reflection of my childhood trauma
I'm what I choose, I'm what I decide
I can love you, but I won't let you mistreat me, no
I carry the weight of being different from the rest
When I truly love someone, I show it

Because I love from the heart
Just try to listen to me, I promise it'll be worth it
What does it matter if I'm not right?
What does it matter if I'm not right?
What does it matter if I'm not right?
What does it matter if I'm not right?
What does it matter if I'm not right?

I could be better
I could do better
I could be better, yeah
I could be so much better
But I choose to be me
