I Don't Want to Be by Gavin DeGraw
May 20, 2012
This song is all about being yourself and not letting anyone control who or what you are. You don't have to be anything other than yourself, you be who you chose to be. This song has a great beat, is really catchy, and catches the attention of those who just want to be themselves. It explains that most people are pretending to be people that they aren't but this guy just wants to be himself. He is tired of being someone else and letting people tell him what he is. Just be yourself and you can be happy, instead of feeling caged.
