Told them I was gonna be somebody
Now I guess I gotta be somebody
I wanna fly but don't know if I can run yet
Or could I turn something into somethings
And when things don't come easy
For them it's hard to believe me
And then its hard to believe myself
And they can't tell
I don't wanna be somebody
Who doesn't wanna be somebody
Cause when I give in I'm not me
Can't let it, won't let it stop me
All I know is I wanna not be
Looking back thinking that I forgot me
Let it die just a dream inside me
Can't let it, won't let it stop me
Told me I was gonna be somebody
Now I'm gonna go and be somebody
Show me I could do what I put my mind to
I'm gonna try and that's all I care that I do
And when these things don't come easy
For them it's hard to believe me
And then it's hard to believe myself
And they can't tell
I don't wanna be somebody
Who doesn't wanna be somebody
Cause when I give in I'm not me
Can't let it, won't let it stop me
All I know is I wanna not be
Looking back thinking that I forgot me
Let it die just a dream inside me
Can't let it, won't let it stop me
