"While I'm Alive" lyrics Lauren Jauregui Lyrics "While I'm Alive"
If I can't be me
Who do you want me to be?
'Cause if you can't see beyond your gaze
You don't phase me and I don't trust you anyway
'Cause running through life, I figured out time
Don't wait for no one, so while I'm alive, I'ma just be me
Whoever that ends up being
Don't say I'm too loud when I cry out what I've held inside
I wanna know why they tried to take me and bury me alive
'Cause who am I to think that I have a right?
Or decide to know what I need, right?
It's in the way, I talk and walk away
From what you made me
If I can't be me
Who do you want me to be?
'Cause if you can't see beyond your gaze
You don't phase me and I don't trust you anyway
'Cause running through life, I figured out time
Don't wait for no one
So while I'm alive, I'ma just be me
Whoever that ends up being
And I know this is all too familiar
Feel the motive behind all that fake love
I can't take all these unsolicited opinions
Go ahead and be the scared ones
Either way, I'll get it done
I've been told I'm too much
Too proud, too cruel
Too wild, difficult to be around
With too much to say
Never in the right way
So, what's the right way?
If I can't be me
Who do you want me to be? (Who do you want me to be?)
'Cause if you can't see beyond your gaze
You don't phase me and I don't trust you anyway
'Cause runnin' through life, I figured out time
Don't wait for no one
So while I'm alive, I'ma just be me (I'ma just be me, yeah)
Whoever that ends up being (Yeah)
If I can't be me
Who do you want me to be? (Who do you want me to be?)
'Cause if you can't see beyond your gaze
You don't phase me and I don't trust you anyway
'Cause runnin' through life, I figured out time
Don't wait for no one
So while I'm alive, I'ma just be me (I'ma just be me)
Whoever that ends up being
