[verse 1]
Sixteen i dont know why
People think i cant do things right
Im old enough to understand
That life is not allinyour hands
The thing i do arent always right
But that i know till the day i die
So please dont tell me what to be
Its my life so let me be

[chorus]
Cant you see
What this means to me
Let me live my ilfe
Nothings gunna change my mind

[verse 2]
All my life misunderstood
Trying to see me
Change who i am
To make you feel good
Try to understand
That i was born this way
Try to understand
That this is how ill stay

[chorus]

[bridge]
Cant you see
What this means to be
Let me live my life
Nothings gunna change my mind
Try to understand
That this is who i am
That i was born this way
And this is how ill stay
