[Verse 1] Some people want a softer version Some want the edges filed down Some want the volume turned quieter So they can feel safe in the crowd But I didn’t come here to shrink I didn’t come here to blend I came here the way I was made And I’m not changing for the trend [Pre-Chorus] You can like it or leave it You can stay or walk away I’m done performing a different face Just to make the day okay [Chorus] We are who we are No filter, no disguise We are who we are Under the open sky Not perfect, not polished But real and still standing We are who we are And we’re not apologizing [Verse 2] I’ve tried to fit the quieter mold I’ve tried to keep the peace I’ve bitten my tongue and dimmed the light Just to make the tension cease But the cost was always higher Than the comfort ever gave So I’m taking the volume back And the name I used to save [Pre-Chorus] You can like it or leave it You can stay or walk away I’m done performing a different face Just to make the day okay [Chorus] We are who we are No filter, no disguise We are who we are Under the open sky Not perfect, not polished But real and still standing We are who we are And we’re not apologizing [Bridge] It’s not arrogance talking It’s not stubborn pride It’s the quiet decision To stop living a lie Every scar, every fire Every loud and honest part Belongs to the person Who’s been here from the start [Final Chorus] We are who we are No filter, no disguise We are who we are Under the open sky Not perfect, not polished But real and still standing We are who we are And we’re not apologizing [Outro] We are who we are Still here Still loud Still true We are who we are
