Lyrics

Who I'm Gonna Be

Oh, oh, oh...

It’s about time I figure out where I’m gonna go

If you don’t like what I decide, you gotta let it go

I don’t wanna be stuck in between, just wasting my time

So give me, give me, give me, give me some room to breathe, yeah

Who I’m gonna be isn’t up to you, it’s up to me

Where I’m gonna go I don’t really know, it’s a mystery

If I don’t do it my way, I’ll lose myself completely

Yeah, who I’m gonna be isn’t up to you, it’s up to me

Go ahead and try to box me in but that would be a shame

If you won’t see what’s underneath, I gotta walk away

Baby there’s more to who I am outside of your lights

So give me, give me, give me, give me some room to breathe, yeah

Who I’m gonna be isn’t up to you, it’s up to me

Where I’m gonna go I don’t really know, it’s a mystery

If I don’t do it my way, I’ll lose myself completely

Yeah, who I’m gonna be isn’t up to you, it’s up to me, yeah, yeah, yeah

Gotta be me, gotta be free

Tell me, are you listening?

Gotta be me, gotta be free

Oh it doesn’t mean anything

Gotta be me, gotta be free

Tell me, are you listening?

Though I’m hearing what you say

I gotta do it my own way

Who I’m gonna be isn’t up to you, it’s up to me

Where I’m gonna go I don’t really know, it’s a mystery

If I don’t do it my way, I’ll lose myself completely

Yeah, who I’m gonna be isn’t up to you, it’s up to me

Who I’m gonna be isn’t up to you, it’s up to me

Where I’m gonna go I don’t really know, it’s a mystery

If I don’t do it my way, I’ll lose myself completely

Yeah, who I’m gonna be isn’t up to you, it’s up to me
