I just wanna be me

[Verse] Growing up, fearing for my life. Not knowing when time might end. Hiding from the truth, hiding from myself. Just wanting to know who the real me is. [Chorus] Like a bird trying to fly, I too want to be free. Be free to be myself. Not having to hide, not having to run, I just want to be me. [Verse] Knowing I will have to hide, [Verse] Having a mark on me, Having to act a certain way, Having to lie and tell myself I am not enough, Every day. [Chorus 2] I run from the judgment of man, I run from the glares of those I love. I run from the shame it makes me feel... Being who I am. [Verse] But now I understand, I understand there is more to life, I can be who I want to be, And nobody can stop me
