Born This Way

Lyrics [intro] (ohh~) No more silence—no more shame I’m done playing by their game Turn it up—feel the wave I was never yours to change Because I was born this way [Verse 1]   They tried to paint me in a different light Told me who to be just to make it right Every word they threw, every scar they gave Built the fire that they couldn’t tame [Pre-Chorus]   I was bending, I was breaking Now I feel the ground I’m taking [Chorus]   I was made this way—no apologies Every flaw, every scar is a part of me Turn it up, let it crash, let the whole world see I was born this way, and I’m finally free No more hiding in the shadows I became No more running from the echo of my name Let it burn, let it blaze, let it light the way I was born this way—yeah, I was born this way [Verse 2]   Every mirror tried to lie to my face Said I’d never fit, I was out of place But the louder they talked, the less I believed Now I’m everything they said I couldn’t be [Pre-Chorus]   I was lost but never fading Now the truth is detonating [Chorus]   I was born this way—no apologies Every flaw, every scar is a part of me Turn it up, let it crash, let the whole world see I was born this way, and I’m finally free No more hiding in the shadows I became No more running from the echo of my name Let it burn, let it blaze, let it light the way I was born—yeah, I was born this way [Bridge]   Say it loud, say it clear I don’t need your fear Every doubt disappears When I’m standing right here No shame, no disguise No more living their lies I’m a spark in the night I was born for this fight Kick the door, break the frame I don’t need to be the same Hear the crowd, feel the wave This is how I’m gonna live~ [Final Chorus]   I was born this way—no apologies Every flaw, every scar is a part of me Turn it up, let it crash, let the whole world see I was born this way, and I’m finally free No more hiding in the shadows I became No more running from the echo of my name Let it burn, let it blaze, let it light the way I was born , I was born this way~ (ohh~) [Outro] I was born in the echo of a warning sign Every step I took was out of line But the voice in my head kept saying “stay” While my heart screamed out I was made this way~
