Is it wrong that I smile
When the night is dark and stormy?
That I like to sit and dream
Or go dancing in the rain?
Maybe I want to forget the rest
And love the simple things,
But still you scorn and frown
At the way I hide my pain.

I once thought that we could all be different
And somehow be the same
That it mattered how you felt and loved,
And not what people see
But you people can’t accept yourselves,
So imitate you must.
Maybe it’s just me,
But if originality is a sin
Then sinner I will be.

I’m sorry if I can’t hide behind
A mask so you won’t see.
But this is who I am,
Who I was meant to be.
I’ve always been a little odd,
Not your average girl-next-door
Don’t try to make me act like you,
I’m no one else but me.
