Takes
Lyrics
[verse]
I'm the one who's always standing at the back,
Never quite the color when the room is black and white,
Watching how the others move without a crack,
Wondering if I could ever get it right
[chorus]
Stay away, stay away, that's what they always say,
But I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm not fading away,
Stay away, stay away, doesn't change a thing,
I'm still standing, I'm still standing, hear me sing
[verse]
Counted all the reasons why I don't belong,
Wrote them down and then I tore the paper twice,
Maybe I don't fit the shape of your whole song,
But I've got my own rhythm and it isn't nice
[chorus]
Stay away, stay away, that's what they always say,
But I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm not fading away,
Stay away, stay away, doesn't change a thing,
I'm still standing, I'm still standing, hear me sing
[bridge]
I don't need your permission,
To take up all this space,
I don't need your permission,
To wear my own strange face
[chorus]
Stay away, stay away, that's what they always say,
But I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm not fading away,
Stay away, stay away, doesn't change a thing,
I'm still standing, I'm still standing, hear me sing
