Just me

All my life
I thought I knew everything about myself
I thought I could hide
The things I didn't like
Thought it was better to be someone else

I pushed aside
What I thought was holding me down
But I was wrong
It was me all along
You were the one to show me how


It was tough at first
tried to resist it
tried to play the same old part
you wasn't with it
tried to act like i knew
but you knew better
and I swear I'll never forget ya


if i live
to be a hundred and ten
i'd do it all over again
if one day
I gotta say goodbye to you
baby it could never undo
if this life
tells us that we gotta part
just know that you got my heart
cuz you let me be
just me, just me

Now I try
to be myself in everything i do
say how i feel
and keep it real
cuz when I do no way can i disappoint you

I tried to hide
you taught me how to seek
I tried to cover up
You showed the underneath
I was stubborn
but I guess I taught you patience
And I thank you for waiting

if i live
to be a hundred and ten
i'd do it all over again
if one day  
I gotta say goodbye to you
baby it could never undo
if this life
tells us that we gotta part
just know that you got my heart
cuz you let me be
just me, just me


I tried so hard to be perfect
but what i didn't see
perfect was there all along
because i'm always perfect at being imperfectly me


if i live
to be a hundred and ten 
i'd do it all over again
if one day  
I gotta say goodbye to you
baby it could never undo
if this life
tells us that we gotta part
just know that you got my heart
cuz you let me be
just me, just me
