Look in my eyes, tell me what do you see?
Are you looking for someone that just isn't me?
Why you're trying to change me I don't understand
Won't you leave me the way that I am
How can you tell me the way that I feel
You're turning my thoughts, everything's so unreal
And how can you know what I feel in my heart?
When we're ten million light-years apart
Leave me to make mistakes, leave me to heal the breaks
Leave, but you don't understand
Leave me to live my life, find out what's wrong or right
Leave me the way that I am
True friends are with you in good times or bad
They laugh when your happy, and they cry when you're sad
They don't try to change anything that you do
They love you for just being you
So go on your way, I don't want you here
I don't need the anguish, I don't need the fear
I'll bid you farewell with a wave of my hand
And I'll stay just the way that I am
Leave me to make mistakes, leave me to heal the breaks
Leave, but you don't understand
Leave me to live my life, find out what's wrong or right
Leave me the way that I am
Leave me to make mistakes, leave me to heal the breaks
Leave, but you don't understand
Leave me to live my life, find out what's wrong or right
Leave me the way that I am
Won't you leave me the way that I am?
