Lyrics I Don't Want to Be - Stripped Version - 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 the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I′m going, is knowing where I′m coming from
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I′ve been trying to 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 got to do
Or who I′m supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars
Everywhere I turn
I′m surrounded by imposters
Everywhere I turn
I′m 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 want to be
Anything other than what I′ve been trying to 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 got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don′t want to 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 want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to 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 got to do
Or who I′m supposed to be
I don′t want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be
I don′t want to be
I don't want to be...
