Just Be Me
Every since I was a kid,
So many expectations;
“She got so much potential”.
And as I got older,
“You can do so much better”.
Always so much pressure.
(CHORUS)
Why cant I be,
Just be me.
Young and free,
To do as I please
That's all I’m asking
Nothing more, nothing less.
What so wrong about that?
No one seems to notice,
The pain in the eyes
The emptiness.
No one, no one.
No one seems to see
How much I try,
The struggle inside of me.
But I've given up
My white flags up
I surrender.
Surrender.
‘Cause all I'm thinking is
Why can’t I just be…
‘Cause…
Every since I was a kid,
So many expectations,
“Shes got so much potential
And as I got older,
“You can do so much better”
Always so much pressure.
Why so much pressure?
(CHORUS)
Just wanna smile just for me.
Live my life happy as can be.
Just wanna be free,
Free to just be me;worry free .
What's wrong about that
Wrong about that?!!
I’m tired of looking over my shoulder
And being reminded of my past.
I’m tired of waiting for someone to save me,
Guess I gotta rescue myself.
(CHORUS)
Tell me please,
What’s so wrong,
what’s so wrong with wanting to be me,
Somebody tell me please.
What’s wrong with me?
