The truth is I'm wanting me back
'Cause I can't take this

I've gotta be who I am underneath
Who I gave up, so you'd believe
Being you when it's all just an act
It's overrated, so overrated

I let you control me
Or so you thought
Don't think that you're perfect
Just all messed up

I hid away the best of me
Too scared to notice
Now I do, and I'm not going to

Being you when it's all just an act
It's overrated
The truth is I'm wanting me back
'Cause I can't take this

I've gotta be who I am underneath
Who I gave up, so you'd believe
Being you when it's all just an act

It's overrated
(Changing for a guy)
Overrated
(Living in a lie)

It's overrated
(Always asking why)
It's overrated

The mirror is shattered
I'm finally free

Being you when it's all just an act
It's overrated
The truth is I'm wanting me back
'Cause I can't take this

I've gotta be who I am underneath
Who I gave up, so you'd believe
Being you when it's all just an act, oh
It's overrated, yeah, overrated, yeah
Overrated, yeah, so overrated, yeah
Overrated, oh oh, yeah
