Being Me

I'm so used to runnin' from my feelings if it's negative
Yeah, it's repetitive, but I should probably stay with it
Everybody 'round me sayin' that they're happy and complacent
Like, am I really the only one that's chasin' it?
Chasin' it, embracin' it
Instead of bottles on the table to replace it with
I need some time from my mind, need some space from it, uh

I've always been told
When you're feelin' low, don't let it show
But as I'm gettin' older
I'm lettin' go what I used to know

I've been climbin', nine-to-fivin'
Tryna rest in peace
Tell me, where's the silver linin'? I can't find it
If I can't sleep
Strapped into this roller coaster, when it's over
I'm still feelin' lonely
There's no easy way to say this
Guess I need to be okay with bein' me

Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, oh-oh
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, oh-oh (bein' me)

Ever since I started lookin' in the mirror
It killed the fear of never knowin' if I'll ever get a hold of it
I'm not sayin' that it's easy, but believe me
Once you're pointed in the right direction, you can finally roll with it
Rolled with it, I noticed it
When I finally hit the floor and didn't crawl from it
Now I'm closer to the life that I'm supposed to live, uh, uh

I've been climbin', nine-to-fivin'
Tryna rest in peace
Tell me where's the silver linin'? I can't find it
If I can't sleep
Strapped into this roller coaster, when it's over
I'm still feelin' lonely
There's no easy way to say this
Guess I need to be okay with bein' me

Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, oh-oh
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, oh-oh (bein' me)
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, oh-oh
Guess I need to be okay with bein' me (ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, oh-oh)

I've always been told
When you're feelin' low, don't let it show
But as I'm gettin' older
I'm lettin' go what I used to know
