lyrics

Verse:
I want your clothes. I want your hair.
I want your everything - It's so unfair.
I want your lips. I want your smile.
I want your everything - just for a while.

Pre-Chorus:
But I'm just me. I'll always be.
And that's alright
Because I also know that other girls are saying the same about me.

Chorus:
It's not normal
I don't get how one like me can feel inferior
I want my voice. I want my pride.
I just wanna be me.

Verse:
I want your strength. I want your will.
I want the optimistic life you fill.
I want your grip. I want your trust.
I want the urge to feel I owe myself.

Pre-Chorus:
'Cause I deserve some sort of break
Some sort of confidence I've never had
And I just want to feel I'll be fine on my own.

Chorus:
It's not normal
I don't get how one like me can feel inferior
I want my voice. I want my pride.
I just wanna be me.

Bridge:
And when I find I'm in the dark
And once again I am blinded by perfection
I close my eyes. I clench my fists.
I tell myself that I'm the baddest bitch there is
And I see the girl that I could be
That I am underneath and I tell myself
Who cares what's seen? As long as I do me.

Chorus:
It's not normal
I don't get how one like me can feel inferior
I want my voice. I want my pride.
I just wanna be me.
I just wanna be...one like me.
