The way I am

1. Even if I stop in the middle of the street

With my hands up and screaming

Don't tell me it's wrong

'Cause it's just what I needed

Even if I'm lying in my bed crying loud

Five days in a row just sleeping

Don't tell me I shouldn't

'Cause it's just what I needed

Chorus:

And sometimes I'll do things that make no sense in your mind

Some ridiculous, some scary but please don't back out

Stand by me all the time and one day you'll get why

I'm the way I am

I'm the way I am

I'm the way I am

I'm the way I am

2. Even if I party then I work with no sleep

Staying high with no drugs, no pills

Don't tell me it ain't good

'Cause it's just what I needed

Even if I close the door, won't let you in

Not caring how sad I made you feel

Don't go away far, please

'Cause it's just what I needed

Bridge:

You'd have to be me

To really see

What is happening in my head

Sometimes I don't understand

Why I'm the way I am
