I wish I could against the tide
But I feel so tired of trying to deny that
I care about how people feel about me
About what they think and about what they see yeah
I used to think that it was just my taste
Worrying about my weight, wearing jackets in summer days
Somehow I'm addicted to crazy things
Like skinny jeans, trying to get famous at eighteen

I've been spending way too long
Staring at the mirror
And I know I am not on my own
I know what you're feeling
Lately I've been feeling so lost
But baby there's a reason
They have been faking it all
They want you to be different

Baby I have failed myself
Yeah I wished to be somebody else
And if you ever feel like I felt
Baby you should just be yourself

I don't want to care anymore
I wanna be like I used to be before
Back when I was just a little boy
I just wanna have fun and nothing more
If you're here to judge me
If you wanna talk about me
What a waste of time
So come on and waste it on me
I'd love to see you talking shit
And screaming about me at a bar
'Cause then only for a minute
I would feel like a star

I'm tired of caring about people like you
I'm tired of not doing what I wanna do
I know myself (I know myself)
If you don't like it you can go love yourself
Boy, you should just love yourself

(Back to my baby)

Baby I have failed myself
Yeah I wished to be somebody else
And if you ever feel like I felt
Baby you should just be yourself
