Being Me

I'm so used to running from my feelings if it's negative Yeah, it's repetitive, but I should probably stay with it Everybody 'round me saying that they're happy and complacent Like, am I really the only one that's chasing it? Chasing it, embracing it Instead of bottles on the table to replace it with I need some time from my mind, need some space from it, uh I've always been told when you're feeling low, don't let it show But as I'm getting older, I'm letting go what I used to know I've been climbing, nine-to-five'in', and tryna rest in peace Tell me, where's the silver lining? I can't find it if I can't sleep Strapped into this roller coaster, when it's over, I'm still feeling lonely There's no easy way to say this, guess I need to be okay with being me Ooh-wa, ooh-wa, ooh-wa, oh-oh Ooh-wa, ooh-wa, ooh-wa, oh-oh (being me) Ever since I started looking in the mirror It killed the fear of never knowing if I'll ever get a hold of it I'm not saying that it's easy, but believe me Once you're pointed in the right direction, you can finally roll with it Rolled with it, I noticed it, when I finally hit the floor and didn't croak from it Now I'm closer to the life that I'm supposed to live, uh, uh-uh I've been climbing, nine-to-five'in', and tryna rest in peace Tell me where's the silver lining? I can't find it if I can't sleep Strapped into this roller coaster, when it's over, I'm still feeling lonely There's no easy way to say this, guess I need to be okay with being me Ooh-wa, ooh-wa, ooh-wa, oh-oh Ooh-wa, ooh-wa, ooh-wa, oh-oh (being me) Ooh-wa, ooh-wa, ooh-wa, oh-oh (guess I need to be okay with) Ooh-wa, ooh-wa, oh (being me) I've always been told, when you're feeling low, don't let it show But as I'm getting older, I'm letting go what I used to know
