Don't Tell Me

Put me in a box and take it
Turn the key into the lock
Don't tell me
Don't tell me if I can't be who I am
I can't be who I am

Make me your friend
Don't tell me if I can't be who I am
Stop down the fate but I don't need it
Don't tell me if I can't be who I am
I can't be who I am

Stand up to the people who hate
Stand up if you're feeling afraid
Stand up if you're feelin' alone
If you're feelin' alone
If you're feelin' alone
But don't tell me that I can't be who I am
Don't tell me that I can't be who I am
Don't tell me that I can't be who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Don't tell me

I'll put you in a spot and then say
Don't tell me that I can't be who I am
Let me out of my cage
You know I'm losing
Don't tell me that I can't be who I am
I can't be who I am

Stand up to the people who hate
Stand up if you're feeling afraid
Stand up if you're feelin' alone
If you're feelin' alone
If you're feelin' alone
But don't tell me that I can't be who I am
Don't tell me that I can't be who I am
Don't tell me that I can't be who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me

It doesn't matter what you think of me
Say what you wanna say

Stand up to the people who hate
Stand up if you're feeling afraid
Stand up if you're feelin' alone
If you're feelin' alone
If you're feelin' alone
But don't tell me that I can't be who I am
Don't tell me that I can't be who I am
Don't tell me that I can't be who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Don't tell me

Don't tell me that I can't be who I am
Don't tell me that I can't be who I am
Don't tell me that I can't be who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
Don't tell me
