As we grow up, at times we always say to ourselves "I wish I was them" for various reasons. If you have a lot of heartache, or if you have a difficult life, I know this desire to be someone else, it can be overwhelming. This is an old song, from the late 1990's early 2000's. It's one of my favorite's & always makes me cry & reminds me: I am me for a reason.
As you read these lyrics, remember: Its hard now, but if you believe, things will get better. You are you for a reason & you're beautiful as you are, don't ever change for anyone.

Stay The Same
Joey McIntyre

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'll be better off by far.
And I hope you'll always stay the same, cuz there's nothin' 'bout 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
So don't be afraid, if you've got somethin' 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'll always stay the same, cuz there's nothin' 'bout you I would change.

Believe in yourself
Reach down inside
The love you have 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 some one 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'll always stay the same, cuz there's nothin' 'bout you I would change.
Don't you ever change!
