Explanation[]
Selena explained this song before the live performance in Gramercy, NYC on 2 November 2010 as following[1]: “I wrote this song because I feel like a lot of people tend to change themselves for – let’s be honest – a boy; and that’s what I did; and I never make that mistake again now. I’m sorry, I’m not what you wanted me to be, but I’m not gonna apologize for who I am.”

Lyrics[]
You had me to get her.
And here, I thought it was me.
I was changin', arrangin' my life to fit your lies.
It's all said and all done.
I gave it all for the long run.
Can she say the same thing?
I guess this is good-bye and good luck.
(I can't be what you want me to be.)
Chorus:
I'm sorry for changing.
I'm sorry it had to be this way.
Believe me, it's easier just to pretend.
But, I won't apologize for who I am.
No, no.
Remember the time when you said you were out with your best friend.
But it wasn't the best friend that you know I thought you meant and
I used to accepted it, I didn't know I could be free.
But I am, and I won't go back 'cause you so don't deserve me.
(I don't even wanna be her.)
Chorus:
I'm sorry for changing.
I'm sorry it had to be this way.
Believe me, it's easier just to pretend.
But, I won't apologize for who I am.
I thank you for this hopeless war
Cause through the pain I found I'm stronger than before.
And I want more.
I don't need you anymore.
Sorry.
(Listen close I won't say this again.)
Chorus:
I'm sorry for changing.
I'm sorry it had to be this way.
Believe me, it's easier just to pretend.
But, I won't apologize for who I am.
I'm sorry for changing.
I'm sorry it isn't like you want.
Believe me, it's easier just to pretend.
But, I won't apologize,
Why should I apologize?
No, I won't apologize for who I am
