Story Behind The Song

Lyrics
ME
They haunted me, they followed me back home at night
The voices in my head that I could not get out
Talking strange, their words were driving me insane
I had to find some space where I could breath again
So I said: ?Stop! Stop! Stop it!?
?Who?s gonna listen to you??
?And why would they believe in anything you do??
That?s when I said: ?Stop! Stop! Stop it!?
?Cause, I?m me! The only one I wanna be
And I?m free! The future?s still inside of me
But there are people all around
Who wanna keep me down
Just get out of my mind! ?Cause I?m only me
Somehow I know I?ve got what it takes
I?m good enough, yeah! So get up out of my way
Soon everyday people be calling me, wanting me
?Cause all of a sudden they are needing me, feeling me
?Stop! Stop! Stop it!?
Believe in what you do and you?ll go far
Always remember who you are
And they will, stop! Stop! Stop it!
?Cause you should never let anybody tell you what to do
Just know, that if ain?t what you want
You tell 'em that this ain?t right for you, no, no, no
Because I'm only me
Me! The only one I wanna be
And I?m free! The future?s still inside of me
But there are people all around
Who wanna keep you down
Just get out of my mind
?Cause I?m only me!
