Still walking down the street
still laughing, though their fingers
are still pointing down at me
and all the things they cannot see.
You never wanted this
So you shove me down again so they won't see
How easy this would be
if I wasn't me
How unafraid
How perfectly made
I wish I was
We hope you're not contagious
We hope you'll still grow up
We hope you won't get shot down in the street
You know our world is changing
but some things are still the same
So watch your back and everything you say
How easy this would be
if I wasn't me
How unafraid
How perfectly made
I wish I was
And I could break a million hearts
Could run and fight and starve
Would that be enough to make you happy?
How easy this would be
if I wasn't me
How unafraid
How perfectly made
I wish I was
And I could break a million hearts
I could run and fight and starve
Would that be enough to make you happy?
