I Don't Want To Be (Live at the Antelope Valley Fairgrounds, Lancaster, CA - August 2012) - Gavin DeGraw

I don't need to be anything other

Than a prison guards son

I don't need to be anything other

Than a specialist's son

I don't have to be anyone other

Than a birth of two souls in one

Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from

I don't wanna be anything other than

What I've been trying to be lately

All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind

I'm tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do

Or who I'm supposed to be

I don't wanna be anything other than me

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn

I'm surrounded by impostors 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 wanna be anything other than

What I've been trying to be lately

All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind

I'm tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do

Or who I'm supposed to be

I don't wanna 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 wanna be anything other than

What I've been trying to be lately

All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind

I'm tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta do

Or who I'm supposed to be

I don't wanna be anything other than me

I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be

No I don't wanna be anything
