I Dont Wanna Be
I Dont Wanna Be
Gavin DeGraw
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 a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from
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 gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by a deadly crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one to notice?
I can't be the only one who's learned
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think about me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
Can I have everyone's attention please
See, 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, dust, stone
And now I'm telling everybody
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'm trying to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be (4X)
..sabi nila'y Pilipino
there's a mixture of nationalities here in the office.. with that comes the different languages being spoken by each group..
it's funny how we tend to speak our national language more while in the office.. for us filipinos, not just our usual tagalog but rather the tagalog words that will make you sound like balagtas.. =p
i was in the washroom when a group of filipinos got in.. they were discussing something about their bosses..
afraid that someone will here them.. specifically the person in the last cubicle (which is moi.. hehehe), they spoke in tagalog which was quite amusing.. hahaha! coz they were grasping for words.. trying to say the deepest tagalog word they know in an effort not use any word that might still be connected to english.. like proseso still sounds like process.. i can here them saying something like.. 'ang mga pinuno natin, nagtatalo-talo tungkol sa pamamaraan ng..'
i knew they were waiting for me to get out of the washroom so that they can speak freely.. but since i knew who these ladies were.. i intentionally stayed a bit longer to listen to them.. hahaha!
when i got out.. sabi nila.. 'kaw lang pala! nagkabalu-baluktot na dila ko kakatagalog!' =p
happiness is a state of mind
yesterday was once of those days you wish you didnt have to go through.. but unfortunately you had to.. it sucked the life out of me that i wasnt much of a good company by the end of the day *sowee pangga*
i was in no mood to do anything.. i ended up reorganizing my mp3s.. renaming the filenames and placing titles as well.. =p
today.. i choose to have a good day.. may not be great.. but good enough to get the most out of the day..
happiness is a state of mind.. =)
