lyrics

I Just Wanna Be Me

Verse 1

I don't wanna be left to my own devices

I don't want to be abondened in a crisis

With nobody looking after me

I don't wanna be suffering in silence

I don't wanna be a victim of violence

I just wanna be free

Verse 2

I don't wanna be ranked and rated

I don't wanna be isolated

put on trial or some decree

I don't wanna be my other self

I don't wanna be someebody else

I Just wanna be me

Middle 8

I don't mean to share all this sadness

the tears I cry when I'm alone

But in the end it all turns to madness

that I just can't face on my own

Verse 3

I don't want to be left in the desert

knowing I never made an effort

trying to find someone to be

I don't want to be left in a rainstorm

with thoughts and doubts that bring pain on

I just wanna be free

Middle 8

I don't mean to bring anyone down with me

Because this sure is gonna last a while

So if I'm sad you don't have to frown with me

but I'd hope that when I'm happy we can smile

Verse 4

I don't wanna be left to my own devices

left on my own discovering life's surprises

and let it be that way eternally

I don't wanna be the one that's sad and sorry

I don't wanne be another sappy story

I just wanna be me
