I feel like you see right through me
And never ever really knew me
Don't want to be around when you start to fall
I've got to follow all of my dreams
Got to figure out what this life means
Don't want to be around when you fall
They say that life's an open book
Turn the page and take another look
You can't judge me by my cover
It's not what you see but what you discover
Can't push me down, it'll come around
Everything that you put me through
I I I I I don't want to be like you
I may be different but I'm beautiful
Every diamond's individual
Everyone shines in their own way
Kaleidoscopes have many different colors
I'll never be just like all the others
Gotta open your mind, I'll prove you wrong
They say that life's an open book
Turn the page and take another look
You can't judge me by my cover
It's not what you see but what you discover
Can't push me down, it'll come around Everything that you put me through
I I I I I don't want to be like you
They say the grass is greener on the other side But from where I'm standing it looks just fine I'll always be an outcast; I'll never get in line You keep on living your life and I'll live mine
You can't judge me by my cover
You can't judge me by my cover
It's not what you see but what you discover
Can't push me down, it'll come around
Everything that you put me through I don't want to be like you
You can't judge me by my cover
It's not what you see but what you discover
Can't push me down, it'll come around Everything that you put me through
I I I I I don't want to be like you
Don't want to be like you...
Don't want to be like you...
Sick of crying,
Tired of trying,
Sure I may be smiling
But inside I'm dying.
A million words would not bring you back,
I know because I've tried.
Neither would a million tears,
I know because I've cried.
I cry for the time that you were almost mine
I cry for the memories I've left behind
I cry for the pain, the loss, the old, the new
I cry for the times I thought I had you
Feel my pain, hear my screams, and watch me fade...
