This is all I ever wanted

All I ever thought I'd be

It's the only place I truly feel

As though I can be me

But the way I arrived

It was overnight

I've been on my worst behaviour

I've been on my worst behaviour

If only I ain't been like this

Now I can hold my heart in a fist

And all the voices leave

I can finally put it on my sleeve

Oh, if only they'd really seen me

Maybe they would finally believe me

When I say I've won

And my father gets to see his son

That he can feel proud of

He can feel proud of

He's proud of me

This is all I ever wanted

All I ever thought I'd be

But the way that I behaved

Could have seen quite the contrary

I felt all the lives

They're out of sight

I've been on my worst behaviour

I've been on my worst behaviour

If only I ain't been like this

Now I can hold my heart in a fist

And all the voices leave

I can finally put it on my sleeve

Oh, if only they'd really seen me

Maybe they would finally believe me

When I say I've won

And my mother gets to see her son

That she can feel proud of

She can feel proud of

She's proud of me

She's proud of me

They're proud of me

They're proud of me

They're proud of me

She's proud of me

She's proud of

She's proud of

They're proud of

They're proud of

They're proud of me

They're proud of me

They're proud of me

She's proud of

They're proud of

If only I ain't been like this

Now I can hold my heart in a fist

And all the voices leave

I can finally put it on my sleeve

Oh, if only they'd really seen me

Then maybe they would finally believe me

When I say I've won

And my family get to see it right

That they can feel proud of

They can feel proud of

They can feel proud of

They're proud of me
