Verse 1
The me I wish I was
Isn't me right here and now
This suffocating life
Isn't what I want

I believe in fantasy
Don't believe in what is real
I'm living in a lie
From which I'm struggling to escape

Pre-chorus
And it's hard
To live this way
In this life

Chorus
And I'm hoping to change it all
To turn myself around
To be who I wanted to be
To simply be me
To simply be me (x3)

Verse 2
The happiness I felt
Doesn't have the same effect
As it had those years ago
When I was young

The dreams that I had dreamt
Was mere make believe
My mind was playing tricks
Showing what my life could be

Pre-chorus
But it's hard
To live that way
In that life

Chorus 2
But I'm hoping to change it all
To work towards a happier ending
To be who I wanted to be
To simply be me

And I'm hoping to change it all
To turn myself around
To be who I wanted to be
To simply be me
To simply be me (x4)

To simply be me (x2)
