Gavin DeGraw ☆ I Don’t Wanna Be

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 the birth of two souls in one

Part of where I’m going, is knowing where I’m coming from



[Chorus:]

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’ve got to do

Or who I’m supposed to be

I 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 identity crisis everywhere I turn

Am I the only one who noticed?

I can’t be the only one who’s learned!



[Chorus]



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 to stone

And now I’m telling everybody



[Chorus]



I don’t want to be [x4]
