When you're young, you have no care in the world.
You run wild and free.
Your parents would say "Always be yourself."
You think, "How could I be anyone else?"
Then you grow up and see, sometimes it's hard to be yourself,
in a world where people are pretending all the time.
Pretending to be someone that they're not, just to fit in.
Then suddenly, you change the way you dress, the people who hang out with.
They tell you to lose weight, and they told you the quickest way to do this.
You find yourself sitting on the bathroom floor, crying. Thinking to yourself:
*Who am I?
