This is all I ever wanted

All I ever thought I'd be

It's the only place I truly feel as though I can be me

But the way I arrived

It was overnight

I've been on my worst behavior

I've been on my worst behavior

If only I had been like this

Now I can hold my heart in a fist

And all the voices leave

I can finally put it on my sleeve

If only they had really seen me

Maybe they would finally believe me

When I say I want

And my father gets to see a son

That he can feel proud of

He can feel proud of

He's proud of me

This is all I ever wanted

All I ever thought I'd be

But the way that I behaved

Could have seemed quite the contrary

I felt our lives, they were out of sight

I've been on my worst behavior

I've been on my worst behavior

If only I had been like this

Now I can hold my heart in a fist

And all the voices leave

I can finally put it on my sleeve

If only they had really seen me

Maybe they would finally believe me

When I say I've won

And my mother gets to see a son

That she can feel proud of

She can feel proud of

She's proud of me

She's proud of me

They're proud of me

They're proud of me

They're proud of me

She's proud of me

She's proud of, she's proud of

They're proud of, they're proud of

They're proud of me

They're proud of me

They're proud of me

She's proud of

They're proud of

If only I had been like this

Now I can hold my heart in a fist

And all the voices leave

I can finally put it on my sleeve

If only they had really seen me

Maybe they would finally believe me

When I say I would

And my family get to see who I am

That they could feel proud of

He can feel proud of

They can feel proud of

They're proud of me
