Oh, say the myriad of all the things, you want everyone to hear you say
What a remedy, it's why you're great, and not for being wimpy
Oh hey the myriad, you've gotta learn, it's not about your looks or mass appeal
There is so much fun in having heart, oh yeah, heart

I think I've tried everything, it just can't get worse
I tried to change the way I speak, not to mention all my new shirts
But there's a part of me that's missing, I'm fitting in but I'm empty
Don't want people to think I'm some screw up, even if I knew how to screw up

There's nothing like it, I know
approval is just too good, to let it go
I'm scared of being who I am, so I'll be fake all through the year
Because of what other people make me hear

Oh, say the myriad of all the things, other people love to hear you say
What a remedy, it's like I'm great but not for being me
Oh, hey the myriad you'll never learn, you gotta keep your touch and mass appeal
There is zero fun in having heart, oh yeah heart heart

But more and more I get tired of what I am
I think I'm done with this, I'm stepping off of this track
I'm seeing now what was a waste of time, the days before were just a big, fat lie
I don't want to keep on acting, just want to get into being me

It's probably wonderful to know that being yourself can be the best for all
You can be someone you are, rather than fake all through the year
I know now what I dont' really want to hear

I'm not saying that it's wrong to be loved or to be known
Just do the best you can, to be true, 'cause its not always about you, have heart heart heart heart

It's nothing funny when we see ourselves being just so confused
I'd rather be someone I am, than be a fake all through the year
I won't be controlled by only what I hear

Oh, say the myriad of all the things you want other people to hear you say
What a remedy, it's why you're great, and not for being wimpy
Oh, hey the myriad, you've gotta learn, it's not about your looks or mass appeal
There is so much fun in having heart, oh yeah heart heart
