[00:18.18]In a world so complicated
[00:20.40]
[00:21.48]Sometimes I wonder how I make it
[00:23.95]
[00:24.97](With all the hate and all the fame)
[00:27.19]How do I keep a smiling face
[00:29.23]
[00:30.77]See all I wanna do is sing
[00:33.14]
[00:34.33]Without compromising me
[00:36.78]
[00:37.57]So hard to stay true to me in a lying industry
[00:41.52]
[00:43.31]And I just wanna be able
[00:45.10]
[00:45.63]To wear my own hair and nails
[00:47.41]
[00:48.33](And not be judged for)
[00:49.85]How much money
[00:50.96]I make how many records I sale
[00:54.27](Cause that don't define me)
[00:55.50]
[00:56.25]How can I teach my son to
[00:58.11]Be a leader if I'm always following
[01:00.24]
[01:01.45](That's right)
[01:02.31]Too much stress to be someone else
[01:05.05]It's hard enough just being me
[01:07.07]
[01:07.76]I just wanna be me
[01:09.47](All the time seven days a week)

[01:40.69]
[01:41.71](Decided it was time for me)
[01:43.51]
[01:44.19]To do this by myself
