I fooled everybody  I learned to say the right words and dress the right dress   and do the right things  But maybe one day they'll see through my facade   and I'll be me  I tried to be somebody  Someone who I could look up to I would respect   and I would care about  I thought if I was all these things  that maybe I could learn to love myself  cuz I'm not perfect, not put together  and sometimes I'm lonely, but it's only real life  Here I stand cast your stones if you mock me  I know that it's only, that you're scared of real life  I tried to succeed in a value system that puts everyone in their place  You gotta dress right, you gotta be cool, you gotta be popular  I found there's a God who has a place for everyone  and every person, every broken heart  no matter how imperfect, He loves you right where you are  and He loves me, cuz I'm not perfect, not put together...    and here I am right where I am and through it all  I'm just trying to be myself  And I let go of these feelings  And I finally know it's all right to be not perfect, not put together...
