To Be Me Lyrics by Gary B Lucas

The Way My Story Goes

2015

[Verse 1]
All of my insecurities are only kept alive because I believe in everything that others think of me
I need to take responsibility
And own up to the fact that I feed
Into these thoughts of negativity
[Pre-Chorus]
It's really none of my business
What you think is your own mess
Self-respect will truly set you free
And when I can drop my ego life is saying go, go, go
I'm returning to a truth I used to know
[Chorus]
Cause I don't really wanna be all that you want me to be
I don't ever think that's gonna work for me
And I don't wanna get my self-esteem
From anywhere outside of me
I don't want to have to check if it's okay to be me
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna look at you with more respect
But don't take it from me, see for yourself
Life's a friendly place without judgement
And radiating higher energy
You won't believe the things that you'll see
Everywhere you look there is beauty
[Pre-Chorus]
And what I think creates my world
So don't base everything you've learned
And all the things you think you have heard
It's really none of my business
What you think could be your bliss
True respect will truly set you free
[Chorus]
Cause I don't really wanna be all that you want me to be
I don't ever think that's gonna work for me
And I don't wanna get my self-esteem
From anywhere outside of me (outside of me, oh)
I don't want to have to check if it's okay to be me
[Bridge]
Close your eyes and look inside of you
There's a hidden truth that you once knew
And it's only gonna work for you if you want it to
Work for you if you want it to
[Pre-Chorus]
It's really none of my business
What you think is your own mess
Self-respect will truly set you free
And when I can drop my ego
Real life is saying go go go
I'm returning to a truth I used to know
[Chorus]
Cause I don't really wanna be all that you want me to be
I don't ever think that's gonna work for me
And I don't wanna get my self-esteem
From anywhere outside of me
I don't want to have to check if it's okay to be me
To be me, oh
(Don't wanna get my esteem from anywhere else outside of me)
(I don't wanna check if it's okay to be me)
