Yourself

(Verse 1) Walking through the world, a stage with no rehearsal Feeling like a part I'm playing, not a soul with a purpose Trying to fit the mold, a shape that's not my own Putting on a brave face, but feeling all alone I'm hiding all the quirky parts, the things that make me me Thinking that the real me isn't what they want to see (Chorus) But darling, just be yourself, let your true colors shine Don't let anyone else try to redefine The beautiful mess, the unique design The one-of-a-kind you, for all of time So rip up the script, throw out the disguise Let 'em see the stardust right there in your eyes 'Cause nobody can do you better, it's a cosmic truth There's magic in the simple act of just being you (Verse 2) Spent so many nights, rehearsing what to say Thinking if I'm cooler, they'll want me to stay Practicing a laugh that's not my own at all Building up a fortress so I'll never fall But every single lie I tell, it feels so heavy now The weight of all the pretense is starting to bow I'm tired of the act, the pressure to conform I wanna feel the sunlight, wanna weather the storm (Chorus) So darling, just be yourself, let your true colors shine Don't let anyone else try to redefine The beautiful mess, the unique design The one-of-a-kind you, for all of time So rip up the script, throw out the disguise Let 'em see the stardust right there in your eyes 'Cause nobody can do you better, it's a cosmic truth There's magic in the simple act of just being you (Bridge) The world is full of echoes, of people trying to belong But the sweetest, truest sound is a brand new song The one you write with every step, with every choice you make The path you walk when you are living for your own sake (Chorus) So darling, just be yourself, let your true colors shine Don't let anyone else try to redefine The beautiful mess, the unique design The one-of-a-kind you, for all of time So rip up the script, throw out the disguise Let 'em see the stardust right there in your eyes 'Cause nobody can do you better, it's a cosmic truth There's magic in the simple act of just being you (Outro) Yeah, just be yourself Let the world see you The whole, glorious, perfectly imperfect you Just be yourself.
