They can be cruel
Can be hurtful and tear you down
I'm gonna let you know
They say you're a fool
And that you'll never be anyone
You're unoriginal
And though the words tear you apart
Break your heart, start thinking 'bout the
Reason that you're running away
Don't give them the satisfaction
Of a typical reaction
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
You say, you keep on letting fear get in the way
The way is hard but soon enough you'll be ok
Ok, so take a breath and try another day
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
You say, you'll never let your fear get in the way
Ok, so take a breath and fight another day
Today, put who you really are out on display
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
--
Say what you need to say
Even when it feels like you're
Confidence is crumbling down
Say what you need to say
Cause they can't tell you who you are
And they're not going to now
And so be proud of who you are
And let the scars start healing
And remember though it may be cliché
That their opinion doesn't matter
So forget about the laughter
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
You say, you keep on letting fear get in the way
The way is hard but soon enough you'll be ok
Ok, so take a breath and try another day
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
You say, you'll never let your fear get in the way
Ok, so take a breath and fight another day
Today, put who you really are out on display
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Be somebody else
Be somebody else
You don't have to try to be somebody else
Yeah, you just gotta stand up for yourself
Stand up for yourself
You don't have to try to be somebody else
Yeah, you're never gonna
Be somebody else
Be somebody else
You don't have to try to be somebody else
Yeah, you just gotta stand up for yourself
Stand up for yourself
You don't have to try to be somebody else
Say what you need to say
(adlib)
Oh, say what you need to say
