I Don't Want to Be (Chariot 20) Songtext
von Gavin DeGraw

I don′t need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's 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 tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind

I'm tired of looking ′round rooms
Wondering what I've 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
Surrounded by imposters
Everywhere I turn
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 tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind

I'm tired of looking ′round rooms
Wondering what I've gotta do
Or who I′m supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me, yeah

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 tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind

I′m tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I′ve gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me

I don′t wanna be, yeah, yeah, hey, yeah
I don′t wanna be, nah-no, nah-nah, no
I don't wanna be, I don′t wanna be anything
Anything other than (I don't wanna be) me, yeah
