Don't look at me now
I feel so ashamed
I have lost it
And I'm afraid
The more I try
To take control
The more I realize
I don't have it anymore
I'm broken
But I wanna recover
So I'm telling me
Don't be afraid to be you
And cut yourself loose
From all your made up rules
There is no need to
Keep your feelings inside
Be a prisoner of your mind
You don't have to run and hide
And don't be afraid of life
Look at me now
I'm fighting back
Step by step
Becoming myself again
And it's not easy
To keep my faith
But I wanna recover
So I keep telling me
Don't be afraid to be you
And cut yourself loose
From all your made up rules
There is no need to
Keep your feelings inside
Be a prisoner of your mind
You don't have to run and hide
And don't be afraid of life
Afraid of life
Now look at me and listen
If I can do it you can do it too
If I could tell you one thing
This is what I'd say to you
Don't be afraid to be you
And cut yourself loose
From all your made up rules
There is no need to
Keep your feelings inside
Be a prisoner of your mind
You don't have to run and hide
And don't be afraid of life
Afraid of life
Just keep on fighting and you will see
Someday, one day, you can say
I'm proud to be me
