I'm The One
The Savoy's Lyrics

I'm tired of being a fool
I am exhausted from behaving foolishly.

And my mind going from hot to cool
My mind keeps fluctuating, and I am finding it hard to be consistent in my thoughts and actions.

And trying to conform to others ideas
I am struggling to fit in with the ideas and expectations of others.

And someone else's rules
I am tired of following someone else's rules instead of making my own.

The life I'm living ain't mine
I feel like I am living a life that does not belong to me.

I'm supposed to feel that's fine
Society expects me to be content with this life, but I am not.

I didn't make the world I'm living in
I did not create the world I exist in, and it is not perfect for me.

And I ain't gonna toe the line
I am not going to follow society's expectations or norms blindly.

I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
I am exhausted from pretending to be someone I am not.

I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
I am exhausted from meeting people's expectations of me, even if it is not who I am.

You know some people are different
People can be unique and different from one another.

Now ain't that a crying shame
It is unfortunate that society does not always accept or appreciate differences.

Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same
It would be boring if everyone was the same, and there was no diversity.

And I'm not going to try to please
I am not going to try to satisfy or please others.

Eyes that just don't see
People who cannot understand or appreciate my choices and way of life.

If I get myself together
If I become true to myself and my values.

You'll have the blues not me
Others may feel unhappy or disappointed by my choices, but it is not going to affect me negatively.
