Don't speak (don't speak), don't shout (don't shout), I can hear you.
You don't have to cry.
And speak (and speak) about (about) how I should have
Saved you.

Well, don't you know how to tell when I'm faking?
Can't you see it's my heart that you're breaking?
And don't you know that I don't speak when you're around?

I'm trying... to be myself!

I'd like (I'd like) to think (to think) I could be,
But I look like him.
Well, I thought (I thought) it's what (it's what) is inside me
That counts to you!

Don't you know how to tell when I'm faking?
Can't you see it's my heart that you're breaking?
Well, don't you know that I don't speak when you're around?

I'm trying... to be myself!

(Woah) No, I won't change for you,
(Woah) No, I won't change at all.
No, I won't change for you,
No, I won't change at all.

Well, don't you know how to tell when I'm faking?
Can't you see it's my heart that you're breaking?
Don't you know that I don't speak when you're around?

I'm trying... to be myself!
