Just because I’m not crying
It doesn't mean I am happy
Doesn't mean that I am a perfect person
Doesn't mean I am not broken
Don’t believe everything you see me show

Just because I’m quiet
It doesn't mean that I’m anti-social
Doesn't make me a weirdo
Doesn't mean I’m not intelligent
Talk to me and find out who I truly am

Just because I’m different
It doesn't mean I don’t have friends
Doesn't mean I don’t have feelings
Doesn't mean you have to push me away
I am different because I like standing out and not being what the world says is “normal

Just because I’m laughing
It doesn't mean my life at home is good
Doesn't mean I am not feeling alone
Doesn't mean everything is going right
I laugh to make people believe I’m OK but they never take the time to really check

Just because I’m me
It doesn't mean I can’t be girly
Doesn't mean the only thing I listen to is heavy metal
Doesn't mean I don’t have a life besides video games
Figure me out and I promise you’ll see a lot more than meets the eye
