lyrics

I've given on things that make me sad
Depressed, upset, or just hurt really bad
The years I spent living in the dark
Helped me grow and learn where to start
But I burnt my bridges, such a cliche line
Hunted down my insecurities
They're still there, but now I'm fine
I wouldn't take back a single thing
Without the pain I wouldn't be who I was
Still finding who I'm sposed to be
All I've found is I'm just me
I'm just me

Puzzle pieces, bent and don't fit any more
The pictures not clear, but I have an idea
The road I've walked really isn't so bad
All it takes is, all it takes is
(All it takes is, all it takes is)

Finding out, where you want to be
You're not standard, but a ball of clay
Made to be shaped, not by authority
So uncurse me
From living your ideas
Somehow I can't see
That this will never work
I can't be happy, we're not happy

All I've found is I'm just me
