You told me to always have confidence
but now I have too much
told me not to tolerate everything
but now I'm too tough
you told me to show some emotion
but when I cry, I'm weak
can I ever be enough for you
what do you want from me
you told me that looks weren't everything
but now I look a mess
even told me to have fun as a child
cause the future will make me stressed
I listened to you then
give me a reason to you now
aren't you supposed to encourage my decisions
shouldn't you still be proud
I tried my best to give you want
been trying to impress you my whole life
when are you going to see
that I just wanna be me
I break down; always saying I'm sorry
name one sacrifice that you've done for me
when are you finally going to see
that I'm just me
what will it take
to let me live my life my way
and when will the time come
so you can let me be and do what I want
with all the confusing advice you gave
thanks for nothing, I won't need it anyway
I tried my best to give you what you wanted
but I'm done trying to impress you
it doesn't matter if you never see
I'm always gonna be me
no breaking down; no more sorries
you haven't done one thing for me
no, it doesn't matter if you never see
but I'm always gonna be me
