I was born here just like you

I’ve grown up here just like you

I live here just like you

I am here just like you

 

But you’d think I were a stranger

A guest intruding in your home

Because the double standard you hold me to

Is a standard for me alone

 

Why is that the things I need to say are annoying

Why is it that when you’re in a mood I’m disregarded

Why is it that the world is put on hold for your every whim

But I’m overdramatic and fake, my feelings unimportant

 

What’s the difference between you and me

Your interests are special, mine make me a freak

Do you hate me so much just because I’m unique

What’s the difference

Oh, what’s the difference

 

I talk, I laugh same as you

I cry, I hurt same as you

I have feelings, same as you

I am human, same as you

 

I don’t like the things you like

I have opinions of my own

And the double standard you hold me to

Is a standard for me alone

 

Why is that the things I need to say are annoying

Why is it that when you’re in a mood I’m disregarded

Why is it that the world is put on hold for your every whim

But I’m overdramatic and fake, my feelings unimportant

 

What’s the difference between you and me

Your interests are special, mine make me a freak

Do you hate me so much just because I’m unique

What’s the difference

 

I am just as important as you

I am just as good as you

I matter as much as you

I am just as real as you

 

So get down off your pedestal

You are no greater than I

Let whatever standard you hold me to

Put you back in your line

 

Why is that the things I need to say are annoying

Why is it that when you’re in a mood I’m disregarded

Why is it that the world is put on hold for your every whim

But I’m overdramatic and fake, my feelings unimportant

 

What’s the difference between you and me

You’re such a prize but I’m dirt on the street

We are both only human as humans can be

What’s the difference

Oh, what’s the difference
