<i>[Verse 1]</i>
Sixteen i dont know why
people think i cant do things right
Im old enough to understand
that life is not allinyour hands
the thing i do arent always right
but that i know till the day i die
so please dont tell me what to be
its my life so let me be

<i>[Chorus]</i>
Cant you see
What this means to me
Let me live my ilfe
Nothings gunna change my mind

<i>[Verse 2]</i>
All my life misunderstood
Trying to see me
Change who i am
to make you feel good
Try to understand
that i was born this way
Try to understand
that this is how ill stay

<i>[Chorus]</i>

<i>[Bridge]</i>
Cant you see
What this means to be
Let me live my life
NOTHINGS GUNNA CHANGE MY MIND
Try to understand
that this is who i am
that i was born this way
and this is how ill stay
