You know I don't mind if you think I should grow my hair
You know I don't mind if you pick on the clothes I wear
But know I can keep my head 
When all around me are losing theirs, because

I am who I am
And you can't change me
I've done what I can
And I'll stand my ground
You're tying my hands
You rearrange me
It all falls down
It all falls down

Why when you dream do you see me as something I'm not?
Why don't you wake up and see all the good things you've got?
A heart isn't made out of clay 
Not something you shape with your hands, understand

I am who I am
And you can't change me
I've done what I can
And I'll stand my ground
You're tying my hands
You rearrange me
It all falls down
It all falls down

Is the reason you ask me to change so that you stay the same?
Well I'm sorry if I keep disappointing you again and again, but

I am who I am
And you can't change me
I've done what I can
And I'll stand my ground
You're tying my hands
You rearrange me
It all falls down
It all falls down

I am who I am
