Who's Gonna Be Me?

(Verse 1)

Head on my pillow, my heart’s still awake,

Running in circles, for everyone’s sake.

Thinking too far, what do they see?

Oh heart, can you breathe, can you rest for me?

(Pre-Chorus)

Let them talk, let them say,

Whatever helps them sleep okay.

I’m done chasing who they want to see,

I just wanna set my spirit free.

(Chorus)

Sometimes I overthink, but I’m not here to fight,

Not to prove my worth or to make it right.

I just wanna be, simple and true,

Living my life the way I do.

If I can’t be myself, then who can I be?

If I fade to please them, who’s gonna be me?

(Verse 2)

Why do we bend for words that cut deep,

Trying to earn what we’ll never keep?

If I’m not wrong, if I don’t harm,

Why can’t peace be my calm?

(Pre-Chorus)

Let them shout, let them blame,

They’ll get tired of the same old game.

I’ll hold my silence, wear it proud,

’Cause quiet hearts still speak out loud.

(Chorus)

Sometimes I overthink, but I’m not here to fight,

Not to prove my worth or to make it right.

I just wanna be, simple and true,

Living my life the way I do.

If I can’t be myself, then who can I be?

If I fade to please them, who’s gonna be me?

(Bridge)

Do you know that sting when they look your way,

Like you’re never enough, no matter what you say?

I ask myself softly, what did I do wrong?

But deep in my soul, I’ve been right all along.

(Final Chorus)

’Cause I’m like this — this is who I am,

Even in silence, I still stand.

If you want me to change, to fit your dream,

Then tell me, who’s left to be me?

I’m tired of hiding, I’m ready to see —

The world can’t break what’s meant to be free.

(Outro)

Head on my pillow, I whisper and breathe…

I’m not afraid — to just be me.
