Be Myself

I can’t believe what I just said

And it made no difference

I just wanted friends

I wanted them to like me

I thought I’d never cross that line

Now I’ve gone and crossed it twice

If I met myself tonight

Would I even like me?

Then this thought raced through my mind

Is it worth the sacrifice

I don’t wanna keep pretending

Just to get someone else’s blessing

I don’t wanna be someone else

It’s hard enough trying to be myself

I want to be the same person

When I’m not trying to pretend

For some so-called friend

I don’t care if they like me

‘Cause in the end it’s not worth it

Approval won’t break through the surface

On purpose, there’s more to life than this

I don’t wanna keep pretending

Just to get someone else’s blessing

I don’t wanna be someone else

It’s hard enough trying to be myself

I don’t wanna keep pretending

Just to get someone else’s blessing

I don’t wanna be someone else

It’s hard enough trying to be myself

I don’t wanna keep pretending

Just to get someone else’s blessing

I don’t wanna be someone else

So here’s to trying something different

To stop pretending and be authentic

‘Cause I don’t wanna be someone else

It’s hard enough trying to be myself
