you alter yourself to stand out
and don't realize that's not what life's all about
you change your hair
and claim it's cuz you don't care
but really you're hoping everyone'll stare
you alter yourself to stand out
and don't realize that's not what life's all about
stop living lies
trying to be the worlds biggest surprise
hoping the memory of you is something that never dies
don't try to stand out
just be yourself — no need to shout
if there's one thing i know without a doubt
we all crave attention as badly as water in a drought
and because of this you become part of the crowd
your voice you thought was so loud
is actually drowned
and no where to be found
maybe if you'd slow down a bit
you'd realize you're full of shit
and you've lost the parts of you you omit
you alter yourself to stand out
and don't realize that's not what life's all about
all these changes destroy your heart
she and the real you can't stand to be apart
she believes the real you is art
you alter yourself to stand out
and don't realize that's not what life's all about
