I've lived my life
By someone else's rules
Never been myself
I just wanted to be cool

But lately I've been thinking
That that just isn't me
I don't have to be like you
To be somebody

I followed your steps
But it just never felt right
Do this, do that
And don't put up a fight

But lately I've been thinking
About who I want to be
I don't have to be like you
To be somebody
