Be Myself
Mitchell Martin
I stand outside in the rain
I feel it burn my skin
Shouldn't it cool me down
Not hurt me?
I look at the people inside
I want to be like them
Should it really be so hard
For me?
And I hate myself for feeling like this
Why can't my mind just stop
No
I, I look around and I feel so lost inside
I, I look around and I can't make up my mind
I, I don't feel like I'm the same as everyone else
Why can't I fit in and still be myself?
I try to calm myself
By slowly breathing in
But the air it burns my lungs
I'm choking
I feel a pain inside
But it's so deep they cannot see
They're probably thinking bad of me
For not trying
But I try so hard, oh, why can they not see?
I just want to be like them
No
'Cause I, I look around and I feel so lost inside
And I, I look around and I can't make up my mind
I don't feel like I'm the same as everyone else
Why can't I fit in and still be myself?
'Cause I'll pack my bags
And I'll run too fast
I'll follow my plans
I won't be held back
I'm not going to hide
This time I will fight
And I'm gonna try
And I'll get so high
And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try, but I won't give up no
And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try, but I will not stop no no no
'Cause I, I look around and I feel so lost inside
And I, I look around and I can't make up my mind
I don't feel like I'm the same as everyone else
Why can't I fit in and still be myself?
Why can't I fit in and still be myself?
