Born this way

Verse

Been living in a world of shadows

Been sleeping in alleyways.

Been afraid to be seen in sunlight.

It’s hurtful what people say.

Pre chorus

I’ve seen the look on their faces.

Their lack of social graces.

It’s too bad we can’t switch places.

Chorus

Hurts when people see my face

Then quickly look away.

I can’t help the way I look

I was born this way.

Verse

Been hiding from a world of torture.

Been praying for miracles.

Been afraid to look in a mirror.

To see what everyone sees.

Pre chorus

I’ve seen the look on their faces.

Their lack of social graces.

It’s too bad we can’t switch places.

Chorus

Hurts when people see my face

Then quickly look away.

I can’t help the way I look

I was born this way.

Bridge

Sometimes I feel angry with god

But he is my only friend.

Wonder if I’d be any different

If I looked like them.
