As I Was Made

I asked myself, why's the water always wet?
Why's the fire always warm, and the sun never forgets?
The earth keeps on turning, round without regret
The moon stays cold, it never breaks a sweat

So tell me why we fight to bend
Twist our bones to please a friend
When every star was born with scars
And never had to pretend?

I'm made this way, like the night and the day
My flaws are the fire that light up my pain
Don't ask me to change, I won't rearrange
‘Cause in the end, they all walk away
I'm perfect now, just how I was born to stay


I've seen the faces fade, and the voices disappear
They drank my soul dry, left me hollow with my fear
But nature doesn't beg, the river never pleads
It just flows like it's meant to, carrying its need

So I won't waste this beating heart
On someone else's fragile part
If the sky can keep its shade
Why should I tear myself apart?

I'm made this way, like the night and the day
My flaws are the fire that light up my pain
Don't ask me to change, I won't rearrange
‘Cause in the end, they all walk away
I'm perfect now, just how I was born to stay

Every goodbye carved a hole in me
But I stitched it shut with honesty
If emptiness is what they leave
I'll fill it with the truth I breathe

I'm made this way, like the night and the day
My soul's not a canvas for others to paint
Don't ask me to change, I won't rearrange
Even when they all walk away
I'm perfect now, just how I was born to stay
