Fix Me

I'm not sure where the shame begins

When they taught me not to be like them

I just took a breath and held it in

And learned not to let it go

I saw what happens when you walk with a swish

Heard what happens when you speak with a lisp

I just learned not to move my hips

And avoid every word with 's'

I was hoping that something could make me well

Or make it something I would outgrow

Maybe some doctor could make some pill

That could make all this wanting go

You can't fix me

I'm not broken

I'm the way I'm meant to be

And when you're young, you let the voices win

Learn to hate the love that you feel within

Learn to hate the sinner and you hate the sin

And you learn to hate your body 'cause it did you in

Hoping that something could make me well

Or make it something I would outgrow

Maybe some doctor could make some pill

That could make all this wanting go

You can't fix me

I'm not broken

I'm the way I'm meant to be

That's how I'm meant to be

Da doo, doo doo, da doo, doo doo, da doo, doo doo

That's how I'm meant to be

Sometimes that little boy's still hurting

The one who cried alone

He got big and he got certain

That he was never really wrong

You can't fix me, I'm not broken

You can't fix me, I'm not broken

How I'm meant to be

Da doo, doo doo, da doo, doo doo, da doo, doo doo

That's how I'm meant to be

Sometimes that little boy's still hurting

The one who cried alone

He got big and he got certain

That he was never really wrong

Da doo, doo doo, da doo, doo doo, da doo, doo doo

That's how I'm meant to be

Da doo, doo doo, da doo, doo doo, da doo, doo doo

That's how I'm meant to be
