So Different

You don't like the clothes I wear the way I style my hair or even the color of my underwear You've mistaken me if you think I care You don't like the words I say the way I live my life from day to day or even the sports I play But you've got it all wrong if you think I'll go away If putting me down makes you feel good then by all means insult me the best you can I'd do the same if I could but I don't think I should Seeing as how I don't like to see people cry I'd feel too guilty Looking at you though I don't think the same morals apply So you don't like my hair or the clothes I wear and I guess you can't stand how my skin is so fair but your opinions are neither here nor there You don't like the things I say The way I look past you from day to day I'm sorry but your game isn't something I want to play seeing as how you get off on seeing other people's pain You're wrong if you think I'll sit and stay And your orders aren't something I'll obey It's fine if you don't like me I'm not too fond of you Just one day I hope that you see the harm you choose to do
