I get ready, I move on
I hold steady and I, I stand strong
But I still struggle with feeling like I don't belong
I turned 20, all was well
Threw my pennies down wishing wells, till I
Was in trouble, and everything I did went wrong

And I know what I believe in
And it gets me by
But I'm still afraid of being
Myself and I, oh I

I built my hopes and dreams on faith
But when things don't go right, I cave
My feelings come and go in waves
They go in waves

I swear I try to stand so tall
But there's still times when I feel small
There's still some days I'm so afraid
And that's okay

I'm so typical, way too proud to ask for help
I've got principles, I can't even hold myself
Two, five, seven, nine, counting all the ways to feel
One too many times, haven't fallen down, and I

I would be lying if I said I don't
Don't lose my mind being on my own
I spend my nights going down this road
Still can't find which way to go

And I know what I believe in
And it gets me by
But I'm still afraid of being
Me, myself and I, oh

All my days I've been searching
For the day I feel certain of myself and I, I, I
Myself and I, I, I
Myself and I
Myself and I

I built my hopes and dreams on faith
And things won't always go my way
My feelings come and go in waves
They'll go in waves

I swear I'll try to stand so tall
There will be times I will feel small
There will be days I'll be afraid
And that's okay
