I’m annoying when I’m energetic
I’m depressing when I’m sad
Sorry to tell you there’s no in between
“Shut up” “shut up” “shut up” they say when I feel good about myself
But I don’t want to, so I don’t
I’m not so easily conformed as the rest of you
At least when I love myself I’m not still stuck by the confines you give yourself
So,
Sorry to tell you there’s no in between
I might be loud and annoying but at least I’m not embarrassed to be myself
When I love myself I can be myself
If you don’t like me when I’m myself then maybe we shouldn’t be friends…
Sorry to tell you there’s no in between
I’m not going to stand here when I can be running
I’m not going to wait around when I can pave my own road
I will be myself
So if you’re embarrassed by me,
Sorry to tell you there’s no in between.
