You don't know what I feel

You say "distant from reality,"

I say it's no big deal.

Cause you'll never know exactly

what it feels like to be me.

Cause you can't be someone

That you're not

Welcome to reality.

You say that it's not there for me

but really, how do you know?

Do you think that I'm just thinkin

Everything that I show?

I do hide things from you,

and I am not ashamed to say

that you don't know what I'm feelin.

I don't think you'll find that day.

What I wish that you would do

Is say "Honey, it's all right

I don't know who you are,

But let's not make this into a fight

Cause I still love ya dearly

Even though you're not like me."

But ya don't say that,

I know you won't.

I guess I've faced reality.

You just refuse to see

That I'm not you.

I'm me

I know what I can do

And if I don't, what's it care to you?

You're tryin to make me into somebody new.

You might be someone special,

But I run my life alone

and I don't need the help you're giving

I'll face it and be free

But you'll still be stone.

The way I feel, the way I am

They really wouldn't give a damn

I know they don't, so why should you?

They say 'to your own self be true.'

Just lookin for consistency.

I'm more than they will ever be.

I'm more than you will ever be.

Welcome to reality.
