I Don't Want to Be - Gavin DeGraw (lyrics)

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
I do...n't want to be anything
Other than what I've been tryna 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 gotta 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
I don't want to be anything
Other than what I've been tryna 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 gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
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
I don't want to be anything
Other than what I've been tryna 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 don't want to be, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
I don't want to be, oh, oh
I don't want to be
I don't want to be anything
Anything other than me
Hey
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (I don't want to be)
Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (I don't want to be)
Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (I don't want to be)
Hey, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (I don't want to be) +
