I tried to fit in with the uptight crowd
Their whispers loud my soul wasn't allowed
I wore their shoes but they pinched too tight
So I kicked them off and found my light
Tied up my hair but it wouldn't stay
Fake smiles fade like the end of day
Chasing their dreams
Lost sight of my own
Found the map inside
Now I'm full-grown
Better as me no one else fits this skin
Been through shadows now the sun shines in
You can chase gold or live free
Nobody's better at being me, in me
They called me odd like I was a crime
But their tune changed when I owned my time
I won't shrink down to make others tall
Better as me I'm breaking the wall
I ain't a copy I'm an original note
Sailing on rivers you never could float
Freedom's loud when you set it free
No apologies I'm just better as me
Better as me no one else fits this skin
Been through shadows now the sun shines in
Take your opinions let them drift to the sea
Because nobody's better at being me, in me
Because nobody's better at being me, in me
