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
