[Verse 1]
I look in the mirror
And I flinch at my face
Snap a picture, delete it
Can’t stay in the frame
I trace every circle
Like I made it wrong
Then I hold my breath
And pretend I’m strong
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could change one thing
I’d change ten more
I keep pulling at the seams
Till I’m raw at the core
[Chorus]
Born different
Born different
Why’d I feel so far? (so far)
Born different
Born different
I just want my own heart (my own heart)
[Verse 2]
Jeans on the floor
And I still don’t fit
Every smile feels borrowed
Every word feels clipped
I watch the others
Move like they belong
While I’m stuck outside
Trying to sing along
[Pre-Chorus]
If I could change one thing
I’d change my name
I’d change the way I carry
All this quiet shame
[Chorus]
Born different
Born different
Why’d I feel so far? (so far)
Born different
Born different
I just want my own heart (my own heart)
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m not broken
Maybe I’m just new
Maybe what I hate now
Could still grow true
If I can’t rewrite me
Then I’ll learn to stay
With the hands I was given
And make my own way
[Final Chorus]
Born different
Born different
Why’d I feel so far? (so far)
Born different
Born different
I just want my own heart (my own heart)
Born different
Born different
I’m still here tonight (still here tonight)
