I want to be who I want to be
No more pressure, no more torture
I don't understand why I can't be me
Let me walk in my own two shoes
Even if I fall, I don't want any help from you
I know that life is never really fair
But living with you is more than I can bare
I was born confined but left to break loose
Became more alive, became less confused
I washed my life clean and start anew
I want to be me, I don't want to be you
And I'm tired of not ever doing it perfectly
I'm never correct, I always have to start fresh
I don't know what it is you want from me
The standards you hold are just way to high
If you don't stop choking me I'm afraid that I'll die
Take it or leave it, this is all I have to give
This is who I am, so just let me live
I was born confined but left to break loose
Became more alive, became less confused
I know who I am and I know for sure
I am my own and I am not yours
And I don't know I may make some of my own mistakes too
But I know the mistakes I make won't be made because of you.
