Since childhood
I've swum in vanity
Stop swimming once
and it's all over
Every misstep pulls me under
I thought that's what life was
I'm not a dolphin in a show
so must keep going
Even if this road is wrong
Now I just need to be me
to be me
I won't be their ideal
Still not quite enough
to be
to be
to be
Now I just need to be me
I found my own way to breathe underwater
And I just want to be
And I
And I just want to be perfect for you.
'Cause I just want you close
Just watch me, don't look away
Since childhood
I've swum in vanity
I heard a thousand phantom voices from the crowd
Throwing stones and shouting names
It was my fault, so I had to pay
I'm not a dolphin in a show
so must keep going
Even if this road is wrong
because I want you
I'm not a dolphin in a show
so must keep going
Even if this road is wrong
I'm putting my bets
It's the only way
Now I just need to be me
to be me
I won't be their ideal
Still not quite enough
to be
to be
to be
Now I just need to be me
I found my own way to breathe underwater
And I just want to be
And I
And I just want to be perfect for you.
'Cause I just want you close
Just watch me, don't look away
