WHY AM I BUILT THIS WAY?

(Intro)

Quiet now…

If You’re listening

I don’t know how to say this right

(Verse 1)

I talk to You in the dark

Like You might still be listening

They say I’m weird, say I’m too much

Like I chose to feel everything

(Pre-Chorus)

My head won’t quiet down

My heart won’t stay in place

I look in the mirror

And don’t like what You made

(Chorus)

Why am I built this way?

Too strange, too loud, misplaced

I feel everything or nothing

Either way, I break

Did You mean to make me like this?

Or did You walk away?

Everyone else feels human

I feel wrong every day

(Verse 2)

I fake a smile, I play along

But it never feels real

I get so mad I scare myself

Then I drown in how I feel

(Pre-Chorus)

My head won’t quiet down

My heart won’t stay in place

I look in the mirror

And don’t like what You made

(Chorus)

Why am I built this way?

Too strange, too loud, misplaced

I feel everything or nothing

Either way, I break

Did You mean to make me like this?

Or did You walk away?

Everyone else feels human

I feel wrong every day

(Bridge)

If You’re there, say something

I’m tired of guessing my worth

(Final Chorus)

Why am I built this way?

I didn’t ask for this shape

I’m trying not to hate myself

Just tell me I’m okay

(Outro)

I’m still talking

Even in the silence

Don’t let me be invisible
