about

"Same Old Me" is deeply personal story about the destructiveness of insecurity. With unflinchingly honest lyrics and haunting vocals, it is a poignant reflection about the burden of perceived flaws, and the struggle to embrace those flaws for the sake of self-acceptance.

lyrics

I wish I was more easy going
Not so uptight, more fun less boring
I wanna go out without worrying about everything

Did I sound stupid? Did I stutter?
Maybe my English could be better
I wanna speak without my voice echoing back at me

I always thought it would magically happen one day
But nothing has changed and there’s 32 candles on my cake
So can you tell me, how long’s it gonna be
A brand new year, with the same old me

I always thought it would magically happen one day
But nothing has changed and there’s 32 candles on my cake
So can you tell me, how long’s it gonna be
A brand new year, with the same old me

How many times on friday evenings
Have I changed my outfit before leaving?
I wanna wear what I like without feeling insecure

I look at my friends and see perfection
But I still avoid my own reflection
I wanna sit down without hiding my stomach with my purse

I always thought it would magically happen one day
But nothing has changed and there’s 32 candles on my cake
So can you tell me, how long’s it gonna be
A brand new year, with the same old me

Is everyone playing a game?
Does anyone else feel the same?

Cause I always thought it would magically happen one day
But nothing has changed and I keep adding candles to my cake
So can you tell me, how long’s it gonna be
A brand new year, with the same old me
