Who the Hell Am I? Lyrics
Yea!
No more lying to myself
pretending to be someone else
and no more hiding how I feel behind a smile
Living in constant self-denial.
There's something I need to say
No more running from a fight
and no more giving up when I know I'm right
Sick of trying to fit in
and wondering what I could have been.
There's something I need to say
it's crawling everyday
Things are going to change.
I won't apologize for who I've come to be
'Cause who the hell am I if I can't be me?
I've wasted too much time on insecurities
'Cause who the hell am I if I can't be me?
No more need to justify
everything I do, everything I like
And no more blood from biting my tongue
too afraid to upset anyone
There's something I need to say
No more guilt for what I see
in the mirror staring back at me
There's something I need to say
it's crawling everyday
Things are going to change.
I won't apologize for who I've come to be
'Cause who the hell am I if I can't be me?
I've wasted too much time on insecurities
'Cause who the hell am I if I can't be me?
And it feels like I am naked
stripped for you to see
my scars and imperfections.
But you never seem to notice
'cause you're too busy covering up your bruises and cuts
from who knows what
Just like me.
So why apologize for who I've come to be?
'Cause who the hell am I if I can't be me?
I've wasted too much time on insecurities
'Cause this is who I am, and that's fine with me.
pretending to be someone else
and no more hiding how I feel behind a smile
Living in constant self-denial.
and no more giving up when I know I'm right
Sick of trying to fit in
and wondering what I could have been.
it's crawling everyday
Things are going to change.
'Cause who the hell am I if I can't be me?
I've wasted too much time on insecurities
'Cause who the hell am I if I can't be me?
everything I do, everything I like
And no more blood from biting my tongue
too afraid to upset anyone
in the mirror staring back at me
it's crawling everyday
Things are going to change.
'Cause who the hell am I if I can't be me?
I've wasted too much time on insecurities
'Cause who the hell am I if I can't be me?

my scars and imperfections.
But you never seem to notice

'Cause who the hell am I if I can't be me?
I've wasted too much time on insecurities
'Cause this is who I am, and that's fine with me.

This is truly a great song and really hits home with me and my situation. I felt my stomach turn when I was listening to these lyrics because of how much this affects me in my life. I feel like I'm not living my life because I never let my true self come through... The lyrics "no more hiding how I feel behind a smile" just is so meaningful because I'm sure many people live hiding themselves.
The song is also really motivating to push me to be who I am, for instance "Things are going to change" just gets me going to really want to let people know who I am!! Because on a serious note who really am I, if I can't be me?
I know I got the lyrics wrong, I'll fix 'em when I get the CD
This is such a great song!
truly amazing. that is the definition of me. hiding under all the things everyone wants me to be, so much that i've lost myself somewhere under everything. but the time has come to shed the skin i'll never fit in...
how many others have suffered this?
