Thanks for the people who put me down there
They helped me to see how strong I am
Never stopped believing in me
And all the times it hurt I cried
And all the times it hurt
And all the times it hurt

I have become a stronger girl now
Oh dad, you would be so proud of me
I learned to put aside what people say
I learned from myself that I shouldn't care
I'm earning my money honestly
I see it, I know you can see it too

I'm spouting money
I'm not wrong
I turn my notes into music
And I make money singing them
I need everyone to know who I am
I want to be myself
Myself, myself, myself
I want to be myself
Myself, myself, myself

I remember the first time
The first time someone I loved too much
Broke my heart, broke my heart
It was the first of many but it still hurt
As if it were the first time
And all the times it hurt I cried
And all the times it hurt
And all the times it hurt

Turning off the light at night
The room is lit only by moonlight
Curling up in my bed
And hugging myself
I'm independent now
'Cause all the times that I needed
I hugged myself, I praised myself
And all the times that broke my heart
I stood up
And how many times they invented rumors about me
I didn't have to prove anything to anyone

Because I know myself
I know myself
I want to be myself
Myself, myself, myself
I want to be myself
Myself, myself, myself

So thanks for putting me on top
So thanks for listening to my music now
And to know that I'm being myself
Without fear, without pain
Because I know myself

Because I know myself
I know myself
I want to be myself
Myself, myself, myself
I want to be myself
Myself, myself, myself
