Why don't you want to talk to me,
Does it feel easier to pass me by?
You read my face like I'm a f___ing disgrace
And you never look me in the eyes.
The truth is always easiest to ignore
And that's why you walk the other way.
But is it really that hard for you
To think of something comforting to say?

Don't look at me as if I'm different!
Don't look at me as if I wasn't there!
Don't look at me as if I'm no good!
Don't look at me as if you didn't care!
As if I wasn't there!

You walk a little faster like you're trying
To say that you really haven't got the time.
And when I put my hand out for a coin
Or two you just pretend that you've gone blind.
It seems hard for you to show any compassion
For me but it wouldn't hurt for you to try.
Reality can be painful but tell me,
Have you ever wondered why?

Don't look at me as if I'm different!
Don't look at me as if I wasn't there!
Don't look at me as if I'm no good!
Don't look at me as if you didn't care!
As if I wasn't there!
As if I wasn't there!

You like to keep a safe distance from me
To make sure that we never meet!
And just in case I might be dangerous,
You quickly turn and walk across the street!
You're so scared of the sight that you see
That you decide to never understand!

Instead of judging me by the way that I look,
Accept me for who I am.
Accept me for who I am.
Accept me for who I am!
Accept me for who I am!!

Don't look at me as if I'm different!
Don't look at me as if I wasn't there!
Don't look at me as if I'm no good!
Don't look at me as if you didn't care!
As if I wasn't there!
