So wie ich bin English translation
von Christina Stürmer

Why should I pretend
And surround myself with lies?
If only I knew for sure
What I want from life

I don't want to be different
Just finally accept it
And what else needs to happen?
Don't you want to understand?

Just let me be the way I am
Don't ask about the meaning
And just accept it
Just let me be the way I am
I'll never be different
Don't need a halo
I don't give a damn about your world
I only do what I like
And stay the way I am


Why should I trust you?
Believe everything you say?
Do you really think you can deprive me of myself?

I don't want to be different
Just finally accept it
And what else needs to happen?
Don't you want to understand?

Just let me be the way I am
Don't ask about the meaning
And just accept it
Just let me be the way I am
I'll never be different
Don't need a halo
I don't give a damn about your world
I only do what I like
And stay the way I am

You embrace illusions
I take it half as hard
And endless discussions
Are something I no longer need


Just let me be the way I am
Don't ask about the meaning
And just accept it
Just let me be the way I am
I'll never be different
Don't need a halo

Just let me be the way I am
Don't ask about the meaning
And just accept it
Just let me be the way I am
I'll never be different
Don't need a halo
I don't give a damn about your world
I only do what I like
And stay the way I am
