Be Somebody Lyrics - Seventeen Days - 3 Doors Down

The shades gone up, mother's 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 wont ever let you down 

The day has come, the son 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 wont ever let you down 

No, I'm not trying to be somebody else 

Don't you know me? 

I wont ever let you 

I wont ever let you 

What they say 

What they know 

What they think wont 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 wont ever let you down 

I'm not trying to be somebody else 

Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down 

I won't be nobody else 

This life is mine and I am my own
