So, if you think that I'm not trying to be better
I have to tell you this is all I want to do
And it's a joy to be someone who wants to be glad
And I'm tryin' to be someone who's trying to be true

I don't want help
I wanna be true
I don't need help
I'll show you

And I'm so sorry if I hurt you for a moment
This is not what I am now supposed to do
For I was mad, and I recognize it
That's why I'm saying that I wanna be true

The days are heavy instead of being braver
I must confess, it's not what I want for you
I was not mellow, so I'm, going to be better
I'm trying to keep myself a little close to you

I don't want help
I wanna be true
I don't need help
I'll show you

I don't want help
I wanna be true
I don't need help
I'll show you
