marto4 Staying true to oneself shows a strong and independent person
Not getting swept into the normality to fit in
Why just fit in when you can stand out and shine brighter in the end 🤩
That’s how stars are born Favorite track: Be Myself.

about

Be Myself is a song that I wrote about the struggle to fit in whilst staying true to yourself and it was nominated for WAM's Song of The Year Award.

lyrics

Verse

I stand outside in the rain
I feel it burn my skin
Shouldn't it cool me down
Not hurt me?

I look at the people inside
I want to be like them
Should it really be so hard
For me?

Pre

And I hate myself for feeling like this
Why can't my mind just stop
No

Chorus

I I look around and I feel so lost inside
I I look around and I can't make up my mind
I don't feel like I'm the same as everyone else
Why can't I fit in and still be myself?

Verse

I try to calm myself
By slowly breathing in
But the air it burns my lungs
I'm choking

I feel a pain inside
But it's so deep they cannot see
They're probably thinking bad of me
For not trying

Pre

But I try so hard oh why can they not see
I just want to be like them
No

Chorus

Cause I I look around and I feel so lost inside
And I I look around and I can't make up my mind
I don't feel like I'm the same as everyone else
Why can't I fit in and still be myself?

Bridge

Cause I'll pack my bags
And I'll run too fast
I'll follow my plans
I won't be held back

I'm not going to hide
This time I will fight
And I'm gonna try
And I'll get so high

And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try but I won't give up no
And I'll try and I'll try and I'll try but I will not stop
no no no

Chorus

Cause I I look around and I feel so lost inside
And I I look around and I can't make up my mind
I don't feel like I'm the same as everyone else
Why can't I fit in and still be myself?
Why can't I fit in and still be myself?
