Looks can deceive

[Intro] Looks can deceive, assumptions mislead There's more to us than others read [Verse 1] They say, "Wear skirts, be more like her" But clothing doesn't define who we are Expectations set, judgments made But my identity's not on parade [Chorus] Don't assume you know me There's more than meets the eye My truth is mine to share Not for you to decide [Verse 2] "Such femininity," they praise with pride Not knowing the self I hide inside Comfort in my skin, that much is true But not for reasons they construe [Chorus] Don't assume you know me There's more than meets the eye My truth is mine to share Not for you to decide [Verse 3] Whispers shared, "He doesn't see The boy beneath, the real me" In a world so quick to label and sort True understanding falls short [Bridge] We're more than others perceive More than the roles we're meant to achieve Listen, learn, and you might find The person beyond the lines [Verse 4] Be yourself, that's what matters most Not the assumptions others host In a world that tries to define Your truth is yours to shine [Chorus] Don't assume you know me There's more than meets the eye My truth is mine to share Not for you to decide [Outro] Look beyond what you think you know Let each person's true self show [End song]
