Become

BECOME

Verse 1

I wake up every morning trying to fit in

Trying to be someone I have never been

I hear their voices telling me what to do

But every road they choose just leads me away from you

I watch them laughing like they know the game

While I'm standing in the corner, hiding all the same

I've tried to change the things I hate

But maybe I was never meant to be that way

Pre-Chorus

And I keep asking myself why

I'm always trying to get it right

Maybe I'm tired of playing along

Maybe I've been pretending all along

Chorus

I am not weak, but also not strong

I have always known I'm different

I have never been magnificent

I am stupid, I am dumb

I'm the guy who plays guitar and not the drum

I'm just not what they wanted me to become

Verse 2

I've got a thousand words stuck in my head

A thousand things I wish I could have said

I'm not the hero in somebody's story

I never wanted all the fame or glory

Maybe I'm awkward, maybe I'm strange

Maybe I'm scared of everything I can't change

But when I pick up my guitar at night

For a moment, everything feels right

Pre-Chorus

And I keep asking myself why

I'm always trying to get it right

Maybe I don't need their approval

Maybe being different isn't something I should hide

Chorus

I am not weak, but also not strong

I have always known I'm different

I have never been magnificent

I am stupid, I am dumb

I'm the guy who plays guitar and not the drum

I'm just not what they wanted me to become

Bridge

Maybe I'll never be the person they see

Maybe there's nothing wrong with being me

I spent so long trying to become

Someone they could finally be proud of

But I don't wanna live that way anymore

I don't wanna be what they're waiting for

If I'm not what they wanted me to be

Then maybe I can finally become me

Final Chorus

I am not weak, but also not strong

I have always known I'm different

Maybe I don't have to be magnificent

I'm not stupid, I'm not dumb

I'm just the guy who plays guitar, not the drums

And I'm not what they wanted me to become

No, I'm not what they wanted me to become

Maybe I'm becoming who I'm meant to become

Outro

I don't know where I'm going

I don't know what I'll become

But I've got my guitar beside me

And for once, I'm not gonna run
