[Intro: Spoken]
Tree Hill is just a place to work
Maybe it's a lot like your world
Maybe it's nothing like it
But if you look closer
You might see someone like you

The boy thought a comment
And felt to so in life having no one
She was fiercely independent
Brooke Davis
Really untin and beautiful
She's gonna change the world someday
I'm not sure if she even knows it

Who do you wanna be?
I wanna be someone who's good enough to be seen with you

[Verse 1]
I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Part of where I'm going
Is knowing where I'm coming from

[Chorus]
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

[Interlude]
Why are you a cheerleader thinking
I mean no offense or anything
But you are the least cheery person I know

First of all you don't know me
And second of all you don't know me
You wanna know what I think
I think Megan likes tuna girl
But I hate tuna girl
Like I know that I like her but
No one really knows about you like anymore
This all turning into one big
Well rectangle plus one
Whatever that is
Don't say I never gave you anything

So Luke what are we then
I mean you know more than one
An unkindness

[Verse 2]
I'm surrounded by liars
Everywhere I turn

(Spoken: He's on the door painting, He's on the damn door under me)

I'm surrounded by imposters
Everywhere I turn

(Spoken:'People always believe)

I'm surrounded by identity crisis
Everywhere I turn

[Interlude]
Nathan couples don't get married in High School
That's just not normal

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned
[Chorus]
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

[Interlude]
You say you wanted to be with me
I got, I got scared and I pushed you away
But the truth is that I want all the things
That you want to do and I want them with you

I'm not pushing you away to this
I'm holding on for dear life
But I need you to need me back okay

Why you didn't tell me about the kiss
And why you didn't call me
While you were away and
Why would you ever just let me all the way in

Life is to short to play games
If you love someone and you want to be with them then go get them
Deal with the mess later
You don't know what tomorrow would like

In a time that I felt for I was so scared, so terrified
Then I saw you and I promised myself
That if I just could get up, walk away
And tell you how much I need you
How much I want you and nothing else
Matters

It's you when all my dreams come true
The one I want next to me It's you, It's you baby

[Bridge]
Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that
You're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody

[Chorus]
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me
And I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

[Outro]
I don't want to be
(Spoken: You wanna help your friends, let's help your friends)
I don't want to be
(Spoken: Always, forever)
I don't want to be
(Spoken: There's only one tree to go it's your home)
I don't want to be anything other than me
(spoken: I'll be seeing ya)
