No I don't mind if you think I should grow my hair
and no I don't mind if you pick out the clothes I wear
but know I can keep my head
when all around me are losing theirs
because
I am who I am
and you can't change me
I've done what I can
now I'll stand my ground
you're tying my hands
if you re-arrange me
it all falls down
it all falls down
Why when you dream do you see me as something I'm not?
why don't you wake up and see all the good things
you've got?
a heart isn't made out of clay
not something you shape
with your hands
understand
I am who I am
and you can't change me
I've done what I can
now I'll stand my ground
you're tying my hands
if you re-arrange me
it all falls down
it all falls down
Is the reason you ask me to change
so that you'll stay the same?
well I'm sorry if I keep disappointing you
again and again
but
I am who I am
and you can't change me
I've done what I can
now I'll stand my ground
you're tying my hands
if you re-arrange me
It all falls down (x5)
