I Don't Want To Be (Stripped Version) - Gavin DeGraw
I don't need to be anything
other than a prison guards 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 trying to be lately
All I have to do is think
of me and my peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round
rooms wondering what I 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
I'm surrounded by impostors
everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity
crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one to notice
I can't be the only one
who's learned
I don't wanna be
anything other than
what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think
of me and my peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round
rooms wondering
what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be
anything other than me
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
trying to be lately
All I have to do is think
of me and my peace of mind
I'm tired of looking
'round rooms wondering
what I gotta to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything
other than me
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be no
I don't wanna be Anything
I don't wanna be
Anything other than me

I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be Anything
Anything other than me
