How do you call yourself my friend?
After you laugh at me uncontrollably
It wasn't laughing with me
No, it was laughing at me
How do you call yourself my friend?

I'm sorry I'm not perfect
but last I checked,
nor were you,
I know my names not clean
I'm sorry I'm not perfect.

The least I deserve is respect
What did I do to you?
I was myself, not a fake
Sure I may not fit in,
The least I deserve is respect.

You don't know me
Please don't act like you do
You don't see out my eyes
You don't live in my shoes
You don't know me

This can only make me stronger
I am the one to turn away
I'll keep it to myself
like I do everything else
This can only make me stronger

Just wait
Wait till you need me one day
one day I'll be free
free from the childish games
Just wait

I don't need you
So please run along
Why are you still here?
You are already out of my mind
I don't need you

It's a new season
Which means meeting new people
People that will be true
They can be my friends
It's a new season

I hope you see:
I'm sorry I'm not perfect
The least I deserve is respect
You don't know me
This can only make me stronger
Just wait
I don't need you
It's a new season
I hope you see
