I spend my life, trying to do things right
But all I do is fall to my face with my hands on my head so many times
But then I learnt, after being burnt
To get back up and push straight on
Stop the tears people move on, on

Well, it's alright to be myself
Now I've learnt to stand
Well, it's okay to be just who I am
I spent years really hating me, longing to be friends
Now I hope that you can understand
This is who I am

Now when life gets tough
I'm quick to hurry up
I run all day, I run through the night, I break down walls, I hit up high
I don't care if I'm fat
Or if you think my clothes are bad
'Cos I can go to sleep at night, I'm a good person and I'll get by

Well, it's alright to be myself
Now I've learnt to stand
Well, it's okay to be just who I am
I spent years really hating me, longing to be friends
Now I hope that you can understand
This is who I am

Are you someone, someone, someone, someone like me
You deserve, you deserve, you deserve to be free
'Cause the world will keep spinning and you'll be trapped in it

Well, it's alright to be myself
Now I've learnt to stand
Well, it's okay to be just who I am
I spent years really hating me, longing to be friends
Now I hope that you can understand
This is who I am
This is who I am
