Never Judge the Book By Its Cover

They thought they knew me
Only to find out
I am not what they thought I was
They thought they saw me
Only to find out
I am not what they saw

Lend me a ear
I will tell you about my life
I will tell the world what my life is all about
I will show you my life
Close the mouth
And hear my roar

They thought imitating me will solve their problems
Only to find out
I am not their solution
They thought hurting me will make me disappear
Only to find out
I am living my life
