Back then when I was young
I used to be the one
My friends begged to sing a song
White Tee and blue jeans on
Hair in a bun
Never thought I'd be the one
They told that I was just perfect
But I didn't think that
They told me that one day I'd make it
But I didn't see a chance
The choices that I have to make
My life would change
It was everything I wanted
Couldn't wait to put my heart in
It won't change me
Even if it makes me wealthy
Even when I become everything that I want to be
I will make it
Even if it takes me longer
I know I will be much stronger
Because I will be... me
All of me
Years passed, I realized they wanted so much more
Than I could provide with all open doors
Put on a new disguise to hide from who I was
I knew right then that it couldn't be done
They told me that I wasn't perfect
I already know that
They told me that I wouldn't make it
That I didn't stand a chance
The choices that I had to make
To see my life change
Wasn't anything I wanted
Couldn't work with half of my heart in
They can't change me
Even if it makes me wealthy
Even if I could be everything my friends want me to be
I will make it, even if it takes me longer
I know I will be much stronger
Because I will be... me
All of me
I don't care about the money
I don't care about the fame
I don't want the paparazzi
Throwing dirt on my name
I don't care about the numbers
I don't care if there's just one
I just want you all to know that
I still won
They can't change me
Even if it makes me wealthy
Even if I could be everything my friends want me to be
I will make it, even if it takes me longer
I know I will be much stronger
Because I will be... me
All of me
They told me that I wasn't perfect
I already know that
