Be Somebody
3 Doors Down
Letra

The shades gone up
Mother is staring down
She don't know where he's been
Or how long he's been out

She said: Boy, I'm tired of waiting up while you're out with your friends
He said: Mom, I'm trying and I'm living my life the best way that I can

'Cause I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down

The day has come
The Sun is moving on
She don't know where he'll go
Or when he's coming home

She said: Son, take care, don't let your dreams get too far out of sight
He said: I love you. Now, don't worry about me, you know I'll be fine

'Cause I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down
No
I'm not trying to be somebody else
Don't you know me? I won't ever let you
I won't ever let you

What they say
What they know
What they think won't ever bring me down
This life is mine
And I am my own

I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I lead
Don't you know me?

I'm trying to be somebody
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down

I'm not trying to be somebody else
Don't you know me? I won't ever let you down
I won't be nobody else
This life is mine and I am my own
