Do you know who I am?
I'm me
If you have a problem with that
Leave meI can be who I want
I don't need you to tell me
I can do what I want
Maybe you'll just realise who I amThe things you tell me don't matter
I am me
Not you
I just want you to let me be meAccept me
Take me for who I am
I do that with everyone
It seems to be different with meMaybe I should take who I am
Then you'll accept me
But I don't like that
I just want to be accepted for who I amYou make me think I'm bad every second
You say that I don't deserve you
The truth is
You don't deserve meJust let me be me
Accept me for who I am
If you've got a problem
Leave me
