[Verse 1] The world keeps offering new versions New names, new shapes, new skin It says you can trade what you were given For whatever feels better within But some things aren’t costumes you change When the mirror starts feeling unkind Some things are the ground underneath you Even when the weather won’t align [Pre-Chorus] You don’t have to perform a different story Just to feel like you belong The realest thing you can offer Is the one that’s been here all along [Chorus] Be who you are Not the version they keep selling Be who you are When the noise gets overwhelming You were already enough Before the world started editing Be who you are That’s the only place worth living [Verse 2] I’ve watched people chase a feeling Like it was the only way to heal I’ve watched the cost of becoming Someone they later couldn’t feel There’s courage in staying steady When everything says “become” There’s strength in trusting the person You’ve been since day one [Pre-Chorus] You don’t have to perform a different story Just to feel like you belong The realest thing you can offer Is the one that’s been here all along [Chorus] Be who you are Not the version they keep selling Be who you are When the noise gets overwhelming You were already enough Before the world started editing Be who you are That’s the only place worth living [Bridge] I’m not here to tell you your pain isn’t real I’m not here to pretend it’s all simple and clean I’m just saying the deepest peace I’ve seen Comes from stopping the war with the person you’ve been [Final Chorus] Be who you are Not the version they keep selling Be who you are When the noise gets overwhelming You were already enough Before the world started editing Be who you are That’s the only place worth living [Outro] Be who you are… Still here Still true Still you
