[Verse 1]
Every time I ask, you say there's nothing wrong
But the look on your face kinda says it all
And like the other night
You say you don't wanna fight
And you wish I was short like Billie Joe Armstrong
[Chorus]
And it's just hard to be something I'm not
(Something I'm not, ooh)
I'm never gonna be everything you want
(Everything you want, ooh)
Neither one of us is perfect
But we're both pretty f*cking awesome
And I just want to be me, not something I'm not
[Verse 2]
Take off the gloves and just be yourself
And stop trying to make me into someone else
It's as easy as one, two, three
If we just be you and me
Because with you, I feel like I won the lottery, oh
[Chorus]
It's just hard to be something I'm not
(Something I'm not, ooh)
I'm never gonna be everything you want
(Everything you want, ooh)
Neither one of us is perfect
But we're both pretty f*cking awesome
And I just want to be me, not something I'm not
[Verse 3]
Let's be Ozzie and Harriet
Or at least be Ozzy and Sharon
Truthfully, the latter probably had more fun
Even Angelina and Brad
Just ended up being sad
So there's proof there's no such thing as perfection
[Bridge]
It's just hard to be something I'm not
And it's just hard to be something I'm not
And it's just hard to be something I'm not
And it's just hard to be something I'm not
[Chorus]
And it's just hard to be something I'm not
(Something I'm not, ooh)
I'm never gonna be everything you want
(Everything you want, ooh)
Neither one of us is perfect
But we're both pretty f*cking awesome
And I just want to be me, not something I'm not
(Something I'm not)
Something I'm not
(Something I'm not)
Something I'm not
(Something I'm not)
Something I'm not
