3 more years until I get outta here / I gotta make it count / but this is pretty severe / I hear they have initiation / how do I make friends / how do I fit in / it's all so new to me unlike anywhere I've been / don't know what I'm gonna do / new face in the crowd / it's not so hard to stand out / but if you don't like what they're into / they'll make sure to tell you / they'll let you know / you can say a lot of things / you can spread your rumours too / but I know who I am and I'm not changing for you / if you have to tear me down to build your self esteem / then maybe you should just be you / and let me be me / I thought I had so many friends / they all left me for the popular ones / I'm not quite sure that I'll ever measure up to the standards / they set apart and segregate and shun everyone / let me be me.
