It's hard to keep a straight face
'Cause god we're such a cliché
We can't seem to find our way home
If we called the doctors
Would they put us back together
Or would they say we're better off alone
I'm not alright
'Cause I don't know who's good and who's got
Good intentions
But I'll be fine
So won't you tell me it's okay and give up your pretentious
I'm not broken, I'm not broken, you can't fix me, I'm not broken
I'm not broken, I'm not broken, you can't fix me, I'm not broken
I don't know what you've been told, but I've got style and I've got soul
I don't know what you've been told, but I've got style and I've got soul
The girls out on the street, they've got ground beneath their feet
It doesn't mean their heads aren't in the clouds
Please don't tell me that I'm strange
And that no one acts this way
Don't you see, you're shouting all my fears out loud
Don't forget when we first met and I was something so brand new
And don't ignore no matter how I fall apart I pick myself up for you
I'm not broken, I'm not broken, you can't fix me, I'm not broken
I'm not broken, I'm not broken, you can't fix me, I'm not broken
I don't know what you've been told, but I've got style and I've got soul
I don't know what you've been told, but I've got style and I've got soul
Don't make me feel like a pre-teen
Falling for some middle school dream
Don't make me feel like a head case
All I did was make a mistake
(x2)
I'm not broken, I'm not broken, you can't fix me, I'm not broken
I'm not broken, I'm not broken, you can't fix me, I'm not broken
I don't know what you've been told, but I've got style and I've got soul
I don't know what you've been told, but I've got style and I've got soul
