I Don't Wanna Be - Gavin Degraw

I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from

I don't want to be anything other than
what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to beI don't want to be anything other than me

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by a identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one to notice? I can't be the only one who's learned

I don't want to be anything other than
what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

Can I have everyone's attention please
if you're not like this and that
You're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay, dust, stone
And now I'm telling everybody

I don't want to be anything other than
what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

I don't want to be anything other than
what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be... hey yeaaah
I don't want to be... hey yeaaah
I don't want to be

Put it on your player:
I Don't Wanna Be

I don't listen to Gavin DeGraw much but I Don't Want To Be is an amazing song. I love it, it really changed my whole life. Some of it in a bad way. Most of it in a good way. I've changed my whole wardrobe, I love random clothes, the make me stand out, and I show who I am, wild, crazy and fun. So I realized I'm friends with most of my friends, but they don't like me back. I have figured out my true friends. Joanne and Hilary and Alicia you rock. Thanks Gavin.
