Letting Go

Trying to fit in and be something that your not,
Isn't worth the fight, it isn't worth the cost.
Losing yourself just to be loved, just to feel wanted,
Is that a price you are willing to pay?
Honesty isn't important when your trying to fit in cause it's better than standing out.
Change who you are so others will think your cool,
but you know in your heart these thing you would never do.
Consider new ways of thinking so people don't think your weird,
Lose yourself in a thought or music that isn't you.
This is what I used to do just to be like you.
