I don't wanna live my life
in shadows of what I should be
spending my whole life through
waiting for someone to approve of me

and I don't wanna waste my time
wondering what other people say
more and more I find
they only change their minds anyway

I'm through with all the shame
of trying to numb the pain
when all I need to be
is me

I've found an overflowing power inside of me
there's nothing holding me back now
I'm finally free, so free

I don't wanna live my life
in shadows of what I should be
wasting my whole life through
waiting for someone to approve of me

I'm sick and tired of
not feeling good enough
when all I need to be
yes all I need to be
is me
