When the whole world's
got the wrong idea
Even though
I made myself clear
in the past
I've been misunderstood
and haven't handled it well
the way I know
that I could
but things are different
now since I stopped carin'
I don't worry about
what people saying
'Cos there's no way that
I can stop them thinking
what they're thinking
I'm just listening
to my heartbeat
to the tune
I've been singing
from the start since
I've learned the truth
I've gotta make
my own decisions
'bout what to do
Can't be changing
up the rhythm
just for you
When it looks like
I've lost my way
Even though
I'm saying I'm okay
let me be
There's nothing no-one
can do when all odds
are stacked against me
my true colours shine
through the fog
of deception
That's been clouding
your perception
of who I am
I'm ready for rejection
I'm not begging
for acceptance
I'm just listening
to my heartbeat
to the tune
I've been singing
from the start
since I've learned
the truth
I've gotta make
my own decisions
'bout what to do
Can't be changing
up the rhythm
just for you
I'm just listening
to my heartbeat
to the tune
I've been singing
from the start since
I've learned the truth
I've gotta make
my own decisions
'bout what to do
Can't be changing
up the rhythm
just for you
I did it just
to prove 'em wrong
'Cos they said I'd never
make anything of myself
Said I'd do it all along
just kept on following
my heartbeat
and nothing else
I'm just listening
to my heartbeat
to the tune
I've been singing
from the start since
I've learned the truth
I've gotta make
my own decisions
'bout what to do
Can't be changing
up the rhythm
just for you
I'm just listening
to my heartbeat
to the tune
I've been singing
from the start since
I've learned the truth
I've gotta make
my own decisions
'bout what to do
Can't be changing
up the rhythm
just for you
I'm just listening
to my heartbeat
I'm just following
my heartbeat
I'm just listening
to my heartbeat
I'm just following
my heartbeat
yeah, yeah, yeah
