I Don’t Want To Be Lyrics By Gavin Degraw

    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

    pre
    part of where i’m going
    is knowing where i’m coming from

    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’m surrounded by liars
    everywhere i turn
    i’m surrounded by imposters
    everywhere i turn
    i’m surrounded by identity crisis
    everywhere i turn

    pre
    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’ve got to 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 ohoh
    i don’t want to be
    i don’t want to be anything
    anything other than me
    hey yeah yeah yeah i don’t want to be hey yeah yeah yeah
    hey yeah yeah yeah i don’t want to be hey yeah yeah yeah
    hey yeah yeah yeah i don’t want to be hey yeah yeah yeah
    hey yeah yeah yeah i don’t want to be hey yeah yeah yeah
