The pressure to be perfect
Is unbearable and hard

The pressure to be
Someone I'm not

A phony,
A fake

When all I want
Is to find myself

My own self is lost,
Lost in all the pressure

I'm trying so hard to find myself,
And I think I do
Until I return to school
And I realize it's all the same
With everyone trying to tell me
Who I'm supposed to be
