Dear friends I did the best I could
It was for the best I finally had enough
Of playing your goddamn games
Things were just not the same

I found myself looking for a cure to fix myself again
To rid my loneliness
Then they took me in

These are real friends who love me for I am

I'm setting myself free
Don't take it personally
And what's the difference if I can't be what you want me to be?
Why can't you just see
I can't go on being someone I'm not

Dear friends this is not the end
We'll always have our memories in our heads

I once took 2 steps forward just to take 3 steps back
But now I'm looking ahead
They took me in

These are real friends who love me for I am

I'm setting myself free
Don't take it personally
So what's the difference if I can't be what you want me to be?
Why can't you just see
I can't go on being someone I'm not

When it came down I thought they'd be there for me

I'm setting myself free
Don't take it personally
And what's the difference if I can't be what you want me to be?
Why can't you just see
I can't go on being someone I'm not
