Contoh lyric lagu




Don't you ever wish
You were someone else
You were meant to be

The way you are exactly

Don't you ever say
You don't like the way you are
When you learn to love yourself
You're better off by far

And I hope you always stay the same
'Cause theres nothing about you I would change

I think that you could be
Whatever you wanted to be
If you could realize
All the dreams you have inside

Don't be afraid
If you've got something to say
Just open up your heart
And let it show you the way

Don't you ever wish
You were someone else
You were meant to be
The way you are exactly

Don't you ever say
You don't like the way you are
When you learn to love yourself
You're better off by far

And I hope you always stay the same
'Cause theres nothing 'bout you I would change

Believe in yourself
Reach down inside
The love you find will set you free

Believe in yourself
You will come alive
Have faith in what you do
You'll make it through

Don't you ever wish
You were someone else
You were meant to be
The way you are exactly

Don't you ever say
You don't like the way you are
When you learn to love yourself
You're better off by far

And I hope you always stay the same
'Cause theres nothing 'bout you I would change
'Cause theres nothing 'bout you I would change
Don't change
