Tori is an amazing musician (I mean, those riffs&#8230;!), but what I love about her the most &#8211; aside from her spectacular hair &#8211; is the stand she always makes to live upright in an industry and world that says it&#8217;d be easier to just compromise one&#8217;s standards and be like everyone else to be successful. In my eyes, she&#8217;s one of the best kinds of success there is &#8211; someone who&#8217;s unique, talented, and doesn&#8217;t let the world define how she should use those talents.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll let her words speak for themselves.<!--more--><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>La da da da dee, you\u2019re not breaking me<\/em><br \/>\n<em> La de da da da, ain\u2019t got time for ya<\/em><br \/>\n<em> La da da da dee, you won\u2019t shatter me<\/em><br \/>\n<em> La de da da da, got an unbreakable smile<\/em><em> Somebody told me fame is a disease<\/em><br \/>\n<em> You start singing the blues when you start seeing the green<\/em><br \/>\n<em> But I think it&#8217;s all about what you choose<\/em><br \/>\n<em> The way you live your life, depends on you<\/em><br \/>\n<em> That\u2019s when I realized I wanna make a difference<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Change other people\u2019s lives, give hope, even for a moment<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Use my name for good and change the game I could<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Because to make it you think I gotta act a certain way,<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Be a little bit insane, live a little, it&#8217;s okay<\/em><br \/>\n<em> I guess we have different definitions of living, but you\u2019ll twist my words anyway<\/em><br \/>\n<em> You\u2019ll say that I\u2019m na\u00efve, like I don\u2019t have a past,<\/em><br \/>\n<em> You&#8217;re the one being deceived, I see right behind the mask<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Trying to stir me up and get me mad<\/em><br \/>\n<em> I smile because happiness is all I have<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> La da da da dee, you\u2019re not breaking me<\/em><br \/>\n<em> La de da da da, ain\u2019t got time for ya, singing<\/em><br \/>\n<em> La da da da dee, you won\u2019t shatter me<\/em><br \/>\n<em> La de da da da, got an unbreakable smile<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> You see me hanging with my fam, but that don\u2019t mean I\u2019m living in a bubble<\/em><br \/>\n<em> You\u2019ll find me at church, but that don\u2019t mean I can\u2019t cause trouble<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Stir up a little scene &#8217;cause isn&#8217;t that what you want?<\/em><br \/>\n<em> For me to mess up, so you can dress up<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Some story saying, Tori this\u2019ll sell more records<\/em><br \/>\n<em> But I\u2019d rather make \u2019em yawn than be a pawn on your chessboard<\/em><br \/>\n<em> So call me boring, call me cookie cutter<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Call me what you want<\/em><br \/>\n<em> A matter of fact<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Just say it loud and don\u2019t st-stutter<\/em><br \/>\n<em> &#8216;Cause I know who I am, yeah I\u2019m still the same<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Just a California girl with big dreams<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Thinking maybe they\u2019ll let me sing songs about real things<\/em><br \/>\n<em> And baby who knows maybe I can sell out shows without taking off my clothes<\/em><br \/>\n<em> God made me sexy I don&#8217;t care if only I know<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> La da da da dee, you\u2019re not breaking me<\/em><br \/>\n<em> La de da da da, ain\u2019t got time for ya, singing<\/em><br \/>\n<em> La da da da dee, you won\u2019t shatter me<\/em><br \/>\n<em> La de da da da, got an unbreakable smile<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> Used to be easy to break me down<\/em><br \/>\n<em> But now all I ever wanna do is smile<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Yeah an unbreakable smile<\/em><br \/>\n<em> So say what you want about me<\/em><br \/>\n<em> I\u2019m still gonna be the same old me<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Ain\u2019t got time for you no more no more<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Got an unbreakable smile<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left;\">Slay, Tori.
