Proud

Yesterday I painted my nails black
And they instantly got very mad

I can't wear a necklace or ripped jeans
Then they go to church and scream at me

If I dye my hair, what can they do?
Can they deal the truth if I dye my hair at blue?

I can't just feel blue anymore
My dad keeps me behind, though
I can't just feel sad anymore
But my mom just took my soul

It's not my fault, I won't change my mind
It's not my fault and will not lie
Could I fight the crowd if I won't be proud?

I wanted to go to school and stay just cool
With my mom's shirt, a padlock and platform shoe

School is not a runway, he has said
Go to hell, 'cause that's my fucking way, I've said

If I dye my hair, what can they do?
Can they deal the truth if I dye my hair at blue?

I can't just feel blue anymore
My dad keeps me behind, though
I can't just feel sad anymore
But my mom just took my soul

It's not my fault, I won't change my mind
It's not my fault and will not lie
Could I fight the crowd if I won't be proud?

My parents were so embarrassed
Thanks God now I'm the one, I'm the best
I just pretended, I didn't change
It's not over, I'm exactly the same
I'm exactly the same
I'm the same
The same, same, same

I can't just feel blue anymore
My dad keeps me behind, though
I can't just feel sad anymore
But my mom just took my soul

It's not my fault, I won't change my mind
It's not my fault and will not lie
Could I fight the crowd if I won't be proud?
