I’m not your average type of girl
Not part of this stereotypical world
Don’t wanna be anything but myself
I was never good at tryin’ to be someone else

Take me as I am
I’m not changing for anyone
Guess it’s me against the world
But tell me one thing

Why do they hate me for being different?
Different
When will they see that being different is good?
Different

High school life is so black and white
You either fit in or stick out, but that’s just life
For me I’m sure that some day they will find
That fitting in was overrated

So why do they hate me for being different?
Different
When will they see that being different is good?
Different

They may call you an outcast
Don’t let it get to your heart
When you’re feeling invisible
You're perfect just the way you are

Why do they hate me for being different?
Different
And when will they see that being different is good?
Different

Take me as I am
I’m not changing for anyone
Guess it’s me against the world
Oh, oh

I realized that different was just being myself
I’m different
