Lyrics
Father father look at me
I know you don't like what you see
But I can only be myself
Don't wanna be nobody else
Father, father you disapprove
Your eyes drop when you walk in the room
I can see you're frustrated
Doesn't need to be so complicated
Can't you understand?
I can only be who I am, who I am
Father, father cant you see
This is who I want to be
I can't ignore what's inside
And I refuse, refuse to hide
Can't you understand?
I can only be who I am, who I am
Its not like I can wake up, go get a hair-cut
And just start again, I cant pretend
Father, father need you to try
To look into my eyes
Please look deep, deep inside
And try and empathize
Can't you understand?
I can only be who I am, who I am
