Why can't I be loved just for me...? I walk around, but I'm not free... I've given my heart and soul... yet I still pay this fee...

She walks alone, but she still tries... she doesn't want the world to know she cries... oh-ah...

If she could mend her heart, she would...

She's just so tired of being misunderstood... oh-ah...

Yeah... her life gets harder and harder... she's fought against all that's marred her... but through her song... she's been so strong...

Yeah, she continues to search for the solutions she seeks... don't ever call her weak... she's just hurt by all the havoc life wreaks...

Hey... you never deserved to be treated this way... I know your pain just doesn't go away... that it can inhibit and cause your mind to stray... but the ignorant don't hear or care what you say... and though they can make your view of the sky turn grey... you should never let them dictate the tolls you pay...

You see, you're smart... your mind is art... you're empathetic, and you're filled with heart... I should have told you this from the start... because others often put the cart before the horse... and without remorse... they'll endorse negativity and set you on the wrong course... (yeah... and set you the wrong course...)
