I spend my life
Trying to do things right
But all I do is fall to my face, with my hands and my hips so many times
But then I learned
After being burnt
To get back up, push straight on, stop the tears, people move on
Well it's alright to be myself
Now I've learned to stand
Well it?s okay to be just who I am
I've spent years really hatin' me
Longing to be friends
Now I hope that you can understand
This is who I am
Now when life gets tough
I'm quick to hurry up
I run all day, I run through the night, I'll break down walls, I'll hit up high
I don't care if I'm fat,
Or if you think my clothes are bad
Yet I can go to sleep at night, I'm a good person and I'll get by-yyy
Well it's alright to be myself
Now I've learned to stand
Well it?s okay to be just who I am
I've spent years really hatin' me
Longing to be friends
Now I hope that you can understand
This is who I am
I need someone someone someone someone like me
You deserve deserve,deserve to have me
Cause our world keeps spinning
And you don't try to turn it
Well it's alright to be myself
Now I've learned to stand
Well it?s okay to be just who I am
I've spent years really hatin' me
Longing to be friends
Now I hope that you can understand
This is who I am
Yeaaaaaaaaaaah, yeaah yeah
This is who I am
Ooh, take a breather this is who I a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-am
