Be Yourself

[Verse 1]
Stuck my head out the window
Or in this case, the ceiling
Oh, I wish I had the perfect 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

[Verse 2]
Put my foot on the pedal
And I fired up the vestibule
Wasted days doing what other kids said were cool
Can’t tell if I’m scared or if I’m excited
I just want to be myself and I’m so tired of hiding

[Chorus]
I just want to be myself, I’m so tired of hiding
I just want to be myself, I’m so tired of hiding it, yeah

[Verse 3]
And when I wake up, yeah, I don’t feel like I slept
Every secret that I’m keepin' is a secret best kept
Wastin' so much time being somewhere I’m not
Never gettin' into shit, always scared of being caught

[Verse 4]
There’s a hand on my throat and it’s stronger than gods
And some days I'm ready to give up what I’ve 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

[Bridge]
If everything is nothing
Then I guess I've got everything
Yeah if everything is nothing
Then I guess I've got everything, yeah

[Chorus]
I just want to be myself (I just wanna be myself)
And I’m so tired of hiding
I just want to be myself, and I'm so tired of hiding
I just want to be myself, I'm so tired of hiding
I just want to 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

[Outro]
I just want to be myself, and I'm so tired of hiding it, yeah
