My name
I'm tired
So tired
Feels like you're unbothered
Like you're trying to get a reaction

Not having a flat chest doesn't make me any different
I ask God above the clouds if there's a reason
Why making me feel this way if we're supposed to be the same
But I guess I don't need an answer in order to know my name

They say stop trying to be something I'm not
But I've been doing that for so long
Maybe acceptance is not what I'm looking for
But rather respect and nothing more

Oh
You forgot?
After always being corrected for so long
At least admit it once and for all
You and my name will never get along

Tired
So tired
All I can do
Put my headphones on
Make it quiet

So tired
Help my name get past all these liars
Who say they like it but always laugh
All behind my back
