Be Yourself

Stuck my head out the window or in this case the ceiling Oh I wish I had the perfect word for this imperfect feeling All my life I was told to look after yourself All my life I have felt like I'm somebody else Put my foot on the pedal and I fired up the vestibule Wasted days doing things that other kids said were cool Can't tell if I'm scared or if I'm excited I just wanna be myself and I'm so tired of hiding I just wanna be myself, I'm so tired of hiding I just wanna be myself, I'm so tired of hiding it, yeah And when I wake up, yeah, I don't feel like I slept Every secret that I'm keeping is a secret best kept Wasting so much time being somewhere I'm not Never getting into shit, always scared of being caught There's a hand on my throat and it's stronger than God's And some days I'm ready to give up what I got But right when I feel that hand start to tighten I remember all the birds I hear singing in the morning And I fight with my muscles and I push them away And I stand up tall like the birds I sing la la la, la la la la la la La la la, la la la la la la If everything is nothing Then I guess I've got everything Yeah, if everything is nothing (Is nothing) Then I guess I've got everything, yeah I just wanna be myself And I'm so tired of hiding I just wanna be myself and I'm so tired of hiding I just wanna be myself, I'm so tired of hiding I just wanna be myself, I'm so tired of hiding Yeah I'm so tired of hiding Yeah I'm so tired of hiding it, yeah La la la, la la la la la la La la la, la la la la la la I just wanna be myself and I'm so tired of hiding it, yeah
