Longing For A Place Already Gone
Just Me
I caught my reflection, and I've come to realize
I'm too hung up on how I look in other people's eyes
I can't pretend that the latest trends and the fads that come and go
Don't suck me in and turn me into someone I don't know
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
With all my imperfections and insecurities
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
Yeah, like it or not, I'm all I've got.
I just wanna be me.
Steroetypes, and media hype, and gossip magazines.
Who's fat, who's thin,
Who's out, Who's in,
And who's a Botox queen.
The pack of lies, they advertise keep runnin' through my head.
Until it hurts from news alerts, can't swallow what I'm fed.
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
Don't try to push my buttons.
I don't believe everything I read
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me.
Yeah, like it or not, I'm all I got
I just wanna be me.
We may not see eye to eye, but let's keep an open mind
Cause when you look for answers, it's the questions that you find
I reserve the right to admit that I was wrong
And wind up feeling stupid everytime I hear this song.
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
I'm not trying to make excuses ... or offer an apology.
I just wanna be me
I just wanna be me
Like it or not, I'm all I've got.
I just want to be me.
