Story behind the song
this song is about me, basically the lyrics say everything.
Lyrics
I tried to be the best a boy could be I tried to be everything to everybody But maybe that’s not me Maybe I’m worth more than that you See I went down many roads in pursuit of honesty But nothing satisfied the void inside of me Now it feels so strange when my mother makes me smile coz I bent over backwards for you too many times And I’m done, I’m done I’m done Do you hear me? I’m done Tonight I held my father for the first time in months And I took comfort in a simple kind of love Maybe I’ll finally feel at peace Once I’ve vanquished all the demons that reside inside of me Like suspicion of my friends but I don’t think I’ve got many left Coz they were being selfish while I was busy being selfless So although I’m anti-war I must stand up and fight Before all the bullshit takes over my life *hook* In the process of making myself the best I forgot I was a person who deserved respect Both from you whom I owe nothing to And from me who stopped believing I was someone special Too I pigeon-holed myself so you could understand But in doing so I compromised who I am And that’s the biggest mistake I could ever have made Because I’m not Christian, I’m not gay, I’m not alone and I’m not afraid Of being who I am and the struggle to regain my self-esteem But I’m terrified of being who you want me to be I take responsibility for the errors I have made But I’ve got a life to live and no time for childish games I’m done, I’m done I’m done, I’m done *hook* (now listen up) I ain’t gonna date just because you do I ain’t gonna drink just because you do I ain’t gonna settle just because you do And I ain’t gonna fail just because you want me to I ain’t gonna smoke just because you do I ain’t gonna conform just because you do I ain’t gonna stop just because you do And I ain’t gonna give up just because you tell me to “I’m done” In the process of making myself the best I forgot I was a person who deserved respect Both from you whom I owe nothing to And from me who stopped believing I was someone special Too many times in pursuit of being a star I pimped myself out and I ended up with scars But I’ve found the strength to challenge popular belief So I’m done with bein’ a prisoner and now I’m walkin’ free.
