Not gonna tie my identity
To something built on brevity
Places close and people leave
So I decided to just be me
Twenty five years are gone now
Trying to make myself fit
Spending all my time around
Those who couldn't give a shit
I can't be hurt with a book
Or just laying on the couch
You know it's not a good look
When I feel I'm forced to go out
I have no anchor to stay down
I'm not tied to any shore
I don't care who comes around
Not gonna lie any more
Not gonna tie my identity
To something built on brevity
Places close and people leave
So I decided to just be me
I could travel the whole world
Or I can just sit at home
I'll let my life unfurl
Without ever feeling alone
I'm not going to be cold
And won't treat others unkind
But I am just getting old
And I'm tired of wasting my time
I'll still lend a helping hand
To all those that are in need
But I will not stand
Next to those who mistreat me
Not gonna tie my identity
To something built on brevity
Places close and people leave
So I decided to just be me
Yeah I decided to just be me
