.I'm Still Me Written by Anya Novakova Produced by Wise Master Fox Records (Who is she?) I scrub the makeup off my cheeks I haven't slept in three weeks The leather jacket lies on the floor I don't want this spotlight anymore The mirror shows a stranger's face Dressed up in danger and lace But under the crimson and the lie There's a girl who wants to cry The posters on the boulevard are fifty feet tall But I feel so small... I feel so small They scream for the Captain, they scream for the Queen But they don't see the person behind the screen 'Cause they say she's Valiant, she's a star! But she doesn't know who she really is so far I'm not the baddie, I'm not the Queen! I'm just playing a role in my own scene! If you peel back the layers, if you set me free You'll see... (I'm still me.) I smile for the cameras, I strike the pose I'm the thorn, but I miss the rose Everyone wants the girl who bites They want the fame and the shiny lights But I like the quiet, I like the rain I'm getting tired of hiding the pain I'm lost in a story that I didn't write Fading away in the spotlight white The posters on the boulevard are fifty feet tall But I feel so small... I feel so small They scream for the Captain, they scream for the Queen But they don't see the person behind the screen 'Cause they say she's Valiant, she's a star! But she doesn't know who she really is so far I'm not Valiant, I'm not Valiant! I want to stop pretending but I can't! If you peel back the layers, if you set me free You'll see... (I'm still me.) "Stop. Does anyone hear me?" I said catch me if you can But I can't even find me Can't find my name! I just want to be me... Please let me be me! (I'm still here!) 'Cause they say she's Valiant, she's a star! (She's a star...) But she doesn't know who she really is so far (I don't know who I am!) I'm not the hero, I'm not even me! I'm just playing a role in my own movie! If you peel back the layers, if you set me free You'll see... (I'm still me.) I'm not Valiant I'm not just Valiant I'm still me ("Please... See me.")
