I thought I knew me
Inside and out
But now I just feel lost at sea

What's my sexuality?
Do you like boys or girl?
Do I really have to decide right now?
I just wanna be free.

What's your religion and your beliefs too?
Please don't ask me
I haven't got a clue.

And there's so many people to influence you
Who do you choose?
Nobody listens when you try to explain
They say it's just hormones
But maybe it's really pain.

Boys can't cry and girls have to be polite
But who made up these rules and why?

So many people who are suffering quietly
And no oneΒ  knows their secret anxiety.

Too many cultures being judged
By stupid stereotypes
God, everyone is so hypnotised.

People label and judge us way too quickly
But they just can't see us clearly.



Why do we do this?
It isn't fun.

But who are we?
Who do we want to be?
What influence do I want to have
On the world and me?
