I've been gone for awhile
Don't plan on coming back anytime soon
Might take you forever to figure me out
You might even give up before noon and I
Can't make you see me in a different light
I can't make you see me right
Right?
I'm not out of my mind
I've been thinking awhile
I don't wanna be what you want me to be
Might make you feel like I'm full of pride
I guess you'll only see what you wanna see
I can't make you understand my pain
You may think my head isn't on straight
Wait
I was born this way
I was born this way
I'm not losing my mind
I'm not losing my mind
It's okay I'm this way
I was born this way
Feeling a bit more broken than I used to be
Cause' time didn't heal heal how I'm supposed to see
Or what I think that I should be
A hopeless dream retiring
Put it up on the shelf I don't want it
Let it collect dust, oh I'm just being honest
I shouldn't be depressed but if I got what I wanted
I'm thinking I'd obsess on a break from everything
That invades my mind
Feel like everyday is borrowed time
What did I miss?
What did I do?
I ain't trying to hurt you but I do
Feel like an echo in an empty hall
Endless noise, an endless call
I'm leaving notes on every wall
At the chance you'd read my heart before I fall
Way
I was born this way
I'm not losing my mind
I'm not losing my mind
It's okay I'm this way
I was born this way
