Give me a reason
why you feel this way
is there any substance to the things you say ?
why pretend to be something you're not, just to belong to some cool squad

real friends will love you for who you are
they'll back you up and take good care of you

have a mind of your own
and just be yourself
there's no need to speak the words
of someone else

I know being yourself
can be hard sometimes
but, believe me
it's harder to live a life based on lies

give me a reason
why you feel this way
is there any substance to the things you say ?
why pretend to be something you're not, just to belong to some cool squad
real friends will love you for who you are
they'll back you up and take care of you
they care for you
I care for you

be true and sincere and they'll always be there
