[Verse] I'm trying to be who they want me to be It's feeling crowded in here I’ve lost count of all the versions of me Going to implode personalities if I can't choose me [Chorus] I gotta chooooose meeeee, (gotta be me) Carry another version of me I gotta chooooose meeeee, (gotta be me) They bury every piece of my authenticityyyyy [Post] I'm tired of your demands on my clone This stress has awakened my inner me I'm crowded in my head, but heart's gone cold I'm not your doll, I leap higher on my own [Verse] I can't breathe when they freeze the air Their pressure becomes my enemy I can find the real me, it's in me somewhere But it's crowded out by all the copies of me [Pre] I could be anywhere (ANYWHERE!) [Chorus] I gotta chooooose meeeee, (gotta be me) Carry another version of me I gotta chooooose meeeee, (gotta be me) They bury every piece of my authenticityyyyy [Post] I'm thru with your demands I'm choosing my inner peace, every piece of me I choose my own destiny I choose my own path Your problems are your own aftermath [Bridge] I'm too quiet, lost in the crowd I'm too bold, my heart cries out Nitpick me apart shows a coward I'm embracing my perspective, my power Step aside, you're not seeking out detriments crushing souls freaks me out Demand a world that benefits th down and out If they cut me down they're gonna find out What the real me is all about [Verse] I will take my own stance, stand my ground Enemies can choose to be allies We don't have to go round and round We don't need to be clones to align It's my voice, my unique sound (MY SOUND!) [Chorus] I gotta chooooose meeeee, (gotta be me) Carry another version of me I gotta chooooose meeeee, (gotta be me) They bury every piece of my authenticityyyyy [Outro] I'll always fail at being who they want me to be It's feeling too crowded in here I’m done keeping all the versions of me I choose my authentic me
