Ryan Tedder, Contraband - I've Gotta Be Me Lyrics

Whether I'm right or whether I'm wrong
Whether I find a place in this world or never belong
I've gotta be me, I've gotta be me
What else can I be but what I am?
I've gotta be me

I want to live, not merely survive
And I won't give up on this dream of life that keeps me alive
I gotta be me, I've gotta be me, oh
What else could I be but what I am?
Yeah, I gotta be me

I say I-I, oh yeah, yeah
I gotta be me, oh yeah, yeah
I gotta be me, oh yeah, yeah
I've gotta be
I said, I've gotta be

Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
I gotta be me, oh yeah, yeah
I gotta be me, oh yeah, yeah
I gotta be, I gotta be
I gotta be me
I gotta be me
What else could I be but who I am?
I gotta be me
