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 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

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 bein' somewhere I'm not

Never gettin' into shit, always scared of bein' 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'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

If everything is nothing

Then I guess I've got everything

Yeah, If everything is nothing

Nothing

Then I guess I've got everything, yeah

Everything

I just want to 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, yeah

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la

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