Well, I am what I am
what I am could be who you are
Is your pain when you smile,
because you built a wall around your heart
Do the thoughts in your head keep you up
cause you feel alone
And are you strong enough to be yourself
Papa used to say you are just a loser
And you are never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
Ain`t gonna get you nowhere
Nahaaaaa…
You gotta be yourself
You gotta be yourself
If you cried would you hide
Would you want all the world to know
And if you believed in love
Would you let it show
How you win
How you hate
But you cool
Do you try too hard
or are you strong enough to be yourself
Papa used to say you are just a loser
And you are never gonna have what it takes
Mama used to say all that loud music you play
Ain`t gonna get you nowhere
Nahaaaaa…
You gotta be yourself
Nahaaaaa…
You gotta be yourself
If you can’t, can’t be yourself
What are you living for?
If you can’t, can’t be yourself
You’re gonna lose it all
If you can’t, can’t be yourself
What are you living for?
You’re gonna find someday
You’re gotta run away
You gotta run, run, run, run away
